The combination of consumer protection CLCV considers “indispensable” to withdraw the amendment reversing the ban cuts of water introduced by the Senate to the bill on the energy transition, which “undermines” the protection of consumers. In a letter to the Minister of Ecology and Energy, Segolene Royal, accessed Monday CLCV (Consumer, Housing and Living Environment) believes that this amendment “considerably weakens the protection of consumers in the event of default water. ” According to this amendment, the water cuts would be prohibited and consumers in a precarious situation, while in April 2013 Brottes law does not allow a distributor to turn off the water supply in a principal residence throughout the year and regardless of the position of consumers, even if unpaid. According CLCV, while “there are in French law sufficient procedures (…) to allow distributors to recover their debts without resorting to this final stage”, this amendment is “simply to enable a distributor of water to take the law itself. ” In recent months, several water companies – private or public authority – have been convicted for having made cuts Water on consumer whose precarious situation has yet been recognized by the courts. In his letter to the minister, the association therefore considers “indispensable” to withdraw this amendment, adopted on 19 February by the Senate, mostly on the right, with the support of Ségolène Royal present in the Chamber. The bill on the energy transition will be a solemn Senate vote Tuesday before being examined joint committee to find a common version between MPs and Senators. If unsuccessful, the Assembly, mostly on the left, have the last word. Removing “indispensable”
