Macron Enacts Modified Duplomb Law Without Pesticide Reintroduction

Promulgation follows the Council’s environmental-charter decision to strike the pesticide measure, preserving deregulation for large farms under judicial oversight.

Après de vifs débats, la loi Duplomb avait été adoptée par l’Assemblée nationale le 8 juillet. Ci-contre, le 26 mai, des députés LFI brandissent le nom d’agriculteurs décédés et la maladie qui les a emportés.

Overview

  • Macron published the amended Duplomb law in the Journal officiel on August 12, excising the acetamiprid derogation after the Constitutional Council found insufficient safeguards under the Environmental Charter.
  • The Council upheld administrative simplifications for large livestock operations and water-storage projects but imposed limits on inertial aquifer withdrawals and maintained judicial review rights.
  • Public opposition remains intense with more than 2.1 million signatures on the petition prompting a non-binding parliamentary debate in September and ongoing protests.
  • Ecologist MPs have announced plans to seek full repeal of the law, while its sponsor, Laurent Duplomb, and the FNSEA signal possible new legislative proposals and legal challenges.
  • Health Minister Yannick Neuder and other officials are calling for a European reassessment of acetamiprid to determine if further bans are warranted.
