INTERVIEW
Two contradictory court decisions were issued in the same week on the Linky Meter, which faces opposition from many consumers. If the court of Tours accepted on July 30 the requests of 13 individuals opposed to its pose or claiming its withdrawal in the name of a possible impact on the health, the court of Nanterre refused on August 2 about 430 similar requests.
"We are on totally new subjects, there are very few impact studies for existing pathologies, for people who are hypersensitive, hypertensive or diabetic", reports François Geffrier, on Europe 1, the former Minister of the Environment Corinne Lepage who explains the delays of the courts from one jurisdiction to another. "Nanterre felt that there were not enough studies to consider that there is an imminent danger, when Tours considers that the risk outweighs the rest."
As a result, this lawyer is asking for a moratorium on the installation of the meters. It also calls on the government to seize the subject, to provide scientifically substantiated information, and likely to end, in one way or the other, the many controversies surrounding the connected meter installed by Enedis. "The public authorities: do the studies that there is to do! There is only that way that we can leave," she enjoined.
