Question 802 — environnement

France · National Assembly · 4 June 2024

M. Philippe Bolo interroge M. le ministre de la transition écologique et de la cohésion des territoires sur l'effectivité et l'efficience de certaines transcriptions règlementaires de la loi relative à la lutte contre le gaspillage et à l'économie circulaire du 10 février 2020. Le vote et la promulgation des lois ne suffisent en effet malheureusement pas toujours à concrétiser leurs dispositions. La loi dite « AGEC » en est un exemple révélateur. Alors qu'elle a été votée et promulguée il y a maintenant 4 ans, plusieurs de ses dispositifs peinent à produire leurs effets ; en particulier en matière de développement du réemploi. Les freins et les blocages identifiés sont de différentes natures. Ainsi, dans le cas du bonus réparation, dit dispositif « QualiRépar », la complexité administrative des dossiers représente un frein pour les réparateurs agréés, en particulier pour les plus petites entreprises aux moyens humains réduits. Dans le cas du réemploi de matériel médical, c'est le délai de publication des décrets d'application de la loi qui empêche des entreprises de démarrer leur activité. D'autres entreprises n'atteignent quant à elles pas leur seuil de rentabilité financière estimée du seul fait de l'absence de contrôle relatif aux obligations légales ; c'est en particulier le cas avec des structures spécialisées dans le lavage de vaisselle de restauration rapide. Du fait du manque de contrôle administratif et de l'absence d'effet dissuasif, de nombreux restaurants continuent - malgré les obligations qui s'imposent à eux - à utiliser de la vaisselle jetable et se refusent ainsi à contractualiser avec les entreprises de lavage. Un dernier exemple concerne le matériel informatique reconditionné. Le potentiel de marché est réduit par l'absence de commande d'équipements reconditionnés par les collectivités territoriales qui n'ont pas cette habitude et pour lesquelles une sensibilisation ciblée faciliterait un changement de comportement. Ainsi, complexité excessive, délais trop longs de publication des décrets, absence de contrôle administratif de l'application de la loi ou manque de mesures de sensibilisation apparaissent comme autant de freins à la concrétisation des mesures législatives de la loi dite « AGEC ». Il l'interroge ainsi, au-delà des évaluations en cours, sur les moyens qu'il entend mettre en œuvre rapidement pour corriger ces difficultés en vue d'atteindre les objectifs ciblés par l'esprit de la loi dite « AGEC ».

Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act

United States · United States Congress · 4 June 2024

Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act This bill provides for the conservation or transfer of specified land in Nevada. Specifically, the bill transfers certain land so as to be to be held in trust for Native American tribes and modifies the boundaries of conservation areas. For example, the bill transfers land to be held in trust for the Moapa Band of Paiutes of the Moapa River Indian Reservation; transfers land to be held in trust for the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe; adjusts the boundary of the Red Rock National Conservation Area to include additional lands; revokes the Ivanpah Area of Critical Environmental Concern, with the exception of areas designated as special management areas for conservation purposes; and expands the boundaries of the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area and grants rights-of-way for a water transmission pipeline and related facilities. The bill also allows certain funds to be used for additional purposes relating to preservation sites, and it provides for additional land and public uses with respect to these sites. For example, the bill makes certain funds available for capital improvements in the Tule Springs Fossil Bed National Monument, designates additional lands in Nevada as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System, requires land conveyances to local governments in Nevada for specified public purposes, makes certain funds available to the City of Mesquite for implementation of a watershed plan for the Lower Virgin River, expands the limited transition area located in the city of Henderson, and establishes off-highway vehicle recreation areas.
