The Constitutional Council rejected an article of the purchasing power bill which aimed to legalize the use of frying oil used as fuel, to the disappointment of the environmentalists who had had the measure adopted.
Julien Bayou, national secretary of EELV, told AFP on Wednesday that he contested the argument of the Constitutional Council, which considered that the article in question had nothing to do with the voted text, while accepting that it was sovereign.
For the time being, this type of use of used oils is prohibited in France because they are not part of approved fuels, unlike certain European countries such as Germany.
I had included this article following another on the aspects of energy sovereignty but the Senate moved it elsewhere and buried it by asking for a report, he reacted, promising to return to the charge during the Draft of law financed in 2023, during which the customs code may be modified.
The president of the environmental group in the National Assembly once again judged that it was better to depend on fried shacks than on oil monarchies, not to bow Mohammed ben Salmane and not to depend on American shale gas.
