37 137. ATD Fourth World argues that the Government is wrong to contend (submissions of the Government on the merits, p. 12) that the integration of travellers depends essentially on the funding provided for local authorities to set up family plots for rent (under the aforementioned Act) and the funding of special social housing under ordinary law. The complainant organisation argues that what is mainly needed is willingness on the part of the local authorities to take action, given that the establishment of family plots is optional and that a shortage of suitable housing is not punishable by law. - The shortage of suitable housing 138. In practice, it emerges that there is a shortage of family plots for rent, given the needs of the population concerned. The Government does not, moreover, indicate how many family plots for rent have been set up. 139. The complainant organisation quotes the Circular of 17 November 2003 making the PDALPDs responsible for setting up family plots for rent. According to ATD Quart-Monde, “it is therefore regrettable that the shortage of such plots has led to the introduction of a category ‘temporary family plot’, for which there is no provision whatever in the legislation”, when “very poor families are calling for the same rights to be applied to every citizen”. The risk, therefore, is either that the temporary solution will be prolonged or that makeshift housing will be provided, leading in practice to de facto settling on plots not intended for the purpose. - Shortcomings constituting discrimination 140. As it is impossible to force local authorities to implement the arrangements for rehousing travellers’ families and, more generally, families living in extreme poverty, most of them are left to lead a vulnerable existence. For example, in Herblay, because of the uncertainty, and despite the prefect's decision not to call in the police before the end of the winter and the mayor’s decision not to enforce the fine of € 70 a day pending the results of the social inquiry and of the meetings of the committee responsible for the municipal social and housing plan (MOUS), families in the so-called “Trou Poulet” wood left before the ultimatum without any rehousing arrangements having been made. These particular families were subjected to pressure reflecting the municipality’s determination to force them to move or a lack of information about their situation. According to the complainant organisation, “their return to the misery of moving from place to place is a response to the humiliation they have suffered and to the absence of communication.” b) The Government 141. The Government states that the lifestyle of travellers requires an adequate number of camp facilities. The Reception and Accommodation of Travellers Act No. 2000-614 of 5 July 2000 is intended to recognise and guarantee this population’s lifestyle by providing for facilities to be set up enabling them to live in mobile homes in decent conditions. On 1 January 2006, virtually all the département plans for travellers' facilities (93 of the 96)
