Question 15553 — waste

Summary

Mr. Pierrick Courbon draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature to the existing inconsistencies within the regulations governing illegal dumping of waste. While this practice is unfortunately constantly increasing, causing significant harm to public health and safety, the regulatory framework does not seem not fully adapted to effective and immediate action by local elected officials and public authorities. Indeed, the administrative procedure provides for a ten-day contradictory phase, during which the alleged perpetrator can present his observations and possibly proceed with the removal of the waste. If this principle meets requirements linked to the rights of the defense, it is indisputable that this delay harms the effectiveness of public action and the environmental emergency of removal of certain waste. More broadly, it encourages the worsening of deposits through an accumulation effect, due to the presence of initial waste deposited illegally. Although this subject involves different issues, notably on the accessibility of recycling centers, an evolution of the legal and regulatory framework relating to illegal dumping of waste would be appropriate, particularly in giving the possibility of immediate administrative sanction as soon as the offense is noted or by removing the adversarial deadline when the facts are established with certainty. He therefore asks what the Government's intentions are to fight more effectively against illegal dumping of waste, in conjunction with the local authorities which are the first links concerned by this public policy.
