Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister for Ecological Transition, was a guest on "8h30 franceinfo" on Sunday, May 25, 2025. She answered questions from Hadrien Bect and Bérengère Bonte.
Agricultural Bill: "These are not amendments to improve the text"And these amendments are all the more "unacceptable," according to Agnès Pannier-Runacher, because they do not question the "substance. " "It's replacing the wording 'one month' with 'thirty days,' these are not amendments to improve the text, in my opinion," she cites as an example. She concludes that this type of strategy "weakens" the National Assembly because "deputies, ultimately, will not be able to influence the text if the debate does not take place."

With the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC 3), which will be held in Nice from June 9, the Minister of Ecological Transition, the Sea and Fisheries hopes that France will "obtain from many countries to go further on marine protected areas and to expand them." The minister did not, however, detail the countries that could commit in this direction. She also stated that France would also make announcements at this summit, notably on the strengthening of the "level of protection." Then she details that "we will define zones within our marine protected areas where we restrict and prohibit new activities. High protection zones are estimated at 1% today and our objective is to reach 5% in French waters and 10% in all of our marine waters."
These are topics that will most likely be addressed starting this Monday in Saint-Nazaire, where François Bayrou is scheduled to chair an interministerial committee on the sea (CIMer). Measures are expected to be announced, such as the implementation of a measure that would allow "maritime transport taxes to be used to finance low-carbon engines or fuels."
The minister also wanted to speak out about the action of Greenpeace, which placed rocks on the seabed, off the coast of Barcarès , to denounce bottom trawling. An action that she considers " unacceptable" , because "a boat that comes to dump more than ten tons of rubble in a marine protected area, under the pretext of carrying out a campaign against bottom trawling, in a place where trawlers do not penetrate, is deeply shocking." She concluded by emphasizing that "what they did is illegal and the prosecutor has been notified."
