Question 19526 — environment

Summary

Mr. Éric Alauzet questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, on the measures taken to support the Regional Scientific Councils for Natural Heritage (CSRPN) in the new exercise of the advisory opinion concerning exemptions from the rules for the protection of species provided for by the decree relating to the simplification of the environmental authorization procedure. In order to reconcile decision and opinion consultative, the ministry proposes, via its decree relating to the simplification of the environmental authorization procedure, to transfer the advisory opinion of the National Nature Protection Council (CNPN) on exemptions from the rules for the protection of protected species to the CSRPN. This development concerns only the administrative procedure, it does not involve a regression in the applicable regulations. This is the continuation of a deconcentration process, the prefect already having the decision-making power concerning the exemptions applicable to the species protection rules. Furthermore, both the CSRPN and the CNPN are commissions made up of independent scientists and experts, appointed under similar conditions, and the CNPN will retain a strong role of support and supervision over these opinions. His opinion will be kept for a list of species threatened with extinction, in particular the 37 national species and species of French fauna and flora, and it will support the CSRPN. However, the transfer of opinions represents additional work for CSRPNs which are sometimes already overloaded. Given the immediate challenges these opinions represent for our environment and the maintenance of biodiversity, it appears essential to ensure that the CSRPNs have sufficient resources to support this transfer and ensure the highest quality advice. So, he asks what measures will be taken to support the CSRPNs and give them the means to take on this new workload.
