The National Rally has announced it will vote against the bill to simplify economic life if low-emission zones (LEZs) are reintroduced into the text. This vote, expected Tuesday in the National Assembly after a lengthy legislative process, is a prerequisite for the adoption of a bill initially intended to ease certain constraints on businesses.
The text, expanded during the debates to around one hundred articles, includes various measures on access to public procurement and the simplification of infrastructure projects. However, its outcome now hinges on a controversial article that would abolish Low Emission Zones (LEZs), those measures designed to restrict the circulation of the most polluting vehicles in certain urban areas.
A compromise being considered by the government
Faced with divisions, the government is considering maintaining the legal framework for Low Emission Zones (LEZs) while leaving local authorities the choice of whether or not to implement them. This option aims to preserve a flagship measure of the five-year term while attempting to garner majority support for the legislation.
The National Rally (RN) remains opposed to any form of maintaining these zones, which it considers an unfair constraint for some households. The government may resort to an expedited procedure to pass the entire bill, which is scheduled to go to the Senate immediately afterward.
