Question 7896 — agri-food

Summary

Mr. Grégoire de Fournas questions the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty about the non-publication of decrees relating to articles 12, 13 and 14 of the Egalim 2 law. Promulgated on October 19, 2021, law no. 2021-1357 of October 18, 2021 aimed at protecting farmers' remuneration was supposed to provide better remuneration for French farmers. A year and a half later, the application of articles 12, 13 and 14, relating to labeling, was considerably delayed due to the non-publication of the decrees by the Ministry of Agriculture. Article 12, which modifies Article L. 121-4 of the Consumer Code, defines misleading commercial practices and introduces the ban on displaying a French flag, a map of France or any symbol representative of France on food packaging when the ingredients primary are not of French origin. The decree which was to determine the list of sectors concerned as well as the conditions of application of the article has still not been published, which makes the article inapplicable. Article 13, for its part, introduced labeling obligations for several foodstuffs. To date, only the implementing decrees relating to the origin of cocoa, cocoa or chocolate products and of the origin of royal jelly, honey and wines sold in bottle, glass or pitcher form have been published. The decree relating to beer labeling is still awaited. Finally, article 14, which provided for the obligation to indicate the origin of meat in “dark kitchens” as well as the origin of meat used as an ingredient in meat preparations and meat products, is not still not published. However, the application of these articles is essential in a context of reconquering our food sovereignty and saving French agriculture. It is essential that the French can freely choose the products they consume while benefiting from clear labeling on the origin of these products, thus supporting our agriculture. He asks the Minister to explain to him the reasons for this delay as well as the date on which it intends to publish all the decrees allowing the application of the Egalim 2 law in its entirety.
