Question 5816 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Elie Califer draws the attention of the Prime Minister to the political follow-up to be given to the judgment rendered on January 2, 2023 by which the Paris High Court rendered a decision to dismiss the case in the chlordecone poisoning scandal. Although deemed irresponsible under article L. 121-2 of the penal code, the State, responsible for this pollution and contamination, remains accountable and responsible for the scourge. Scandalous for some, offensive for others, this dismissal must call, beyond the legal action to be taken by the parties, a strong political response. Thus, in addition to the Chlordecone 4 plan, the MP would like to know the means committed to fundamental research and the depollution of water and soil. He thus asks the Prime Minister if the Government is ready to declare “interest national » research into soil depollution so that everything is done to degrade this molecule which contaminates soil, water and bodies. He would also like to know about ongoing medical studies funded by the State to establish a link between exposure to chlordecone and the development of a pathology. Finally, following the model of what has been done in favor of asbestos victims, he wishes to know the position of the Government on the advisability and feasibility of creating a compensation fund for all victims of exposure to chlordecone, making it possible to initiate real reparation.
