Jacques Maire (French pronunciation: [ʒak mɛːʁ]; born 4 April 1962) is a French politician who represented the 8th constituency of the Hauts-de-Seine department in the National Assembly from 2017 to 2022. He is a member of La République En Marche! (LREM).[1]
Career
In Parliament, Maire serves as deputy chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. He is also a member of the Franco-Japanese Friendship Group and the Franco-Australian Friendship Group.[2]
In addition to his committee assignments, Maire has been a member of the French delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe since 2017.[3] In this capacity, he serves on the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy and as the Assembly's rapporteur on Algeria (2019)[4] and the poisoning of Alexei Navalny (2020).[5]
In September 2018, after François de Rugy's appointment to the government, Maire supported Barbara Pompili's candidacy for the presidency of the National Assembly.[6] Since 2020, he has been serving as his parliamentary group's co-rapporteur on the government's pension reform plans, alongside Guillaume Gouffier-Cha, Carole Grandjean and Corinne Vignon.[7] He co-founded a new political party alongside Pompili; En Commun in 2020.[8]
In April 2021, Maire was included in a list of eight public officials that were banned by Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs from entering the country in retaliation for EU sanctions on Russians.[9]
Political positions
In 2019, Maire voted in favour of the French ratification of the European Union's Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[10] In 2020, Maire co-authored (along with Michèle Tabarot) a parliamentary report recommending tighter parliamentary oversight of government decisions on arms exports.[11]
