The French government presented its draft law on green industry to the Council of Ministers on Tuesday, May 16. The government hopes to invest €20 billion by 2030 and create tens of thousands of jobs.
At stake: avoiding the relocation of European green industries, attracted by large subsidies across the Atlantic and cheap energy. The bill intends first of all to halve the authorization procedures, to a maximum of nine months. One billion euros is planned to "depollute" wastelands, with the objective of preparing 50 pre-developed turnkey sites.
