France: Grenelle II meets with mixed response

摘要

France's major environmental law - the "Grenelle 2" is not tough enough, according to Green and Socialist MPs - who made up the large, if not large enough, opposing vote in the Assemblee Nationale on 11 May.rnFollowing its adoption in the Senate, the parliament's upper chamber, on 8 October, the Assemblee Nationale adopted it last week with 314 votes in favour and 213 against - mainly Greens and Socialists.rnThe 160-page Grenelle text now needs to be finalised next month and it still could and ought to, in some people's eyes, be improved.
