Ecotax heavyweight: the Île-de-France must act – Le Figaro

Chantal Jouanno said on Europe 1 this morning to be in favor of the introduction of the environmental tax for lorry in transit. “Our goal is to say, ‘there’s enough’. We are in a region where pollution affects all Parisians, not only Paris, but also the Val-de-Marne for example, “She said.” The eco-tax heavyweights would apply for those crossing the Island of -France, said the vice-president in charge of ecology and sustainable development in the Île-de-France region. We have a road system that all comes through Paris to start elsewhere. “

With this measure, the Region expects revenues of EUR 100 million of revenue per year. “If in Île-de-France were put 100 million on the fight against pollution, it would finance measures such as replacing wood boilers, replacement of old diesel vehicles,” said Chantal Jouanno.

Île-de-France is considering the use of existing portals to collect the tax. The decision depends on the government, the state is the only one to validate the measurement by decree.
