While waiting to be specified their roadmap with the objectives to be achieved for the five -year term by their Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, members of the government have learned of the decrees of allocation of their respective ministries. These texts, published in the Official Journal of Thursday, June 2, define the perimeters of each, specifying in particular on which central administrations and directions they will be able to rely.

After dividing in two of the former Ministry of Ecological Transition – Emmanuel Macron having wanted two “strong” entities, one devoted to the ecological transition and the cohesion of the territories entrusted to Amélie de Montchalin, the Another at the energy transition led by Agnès Pannier -Runacher – the respective attributions of the two new ministries were eagerly awaited.

Exit energy, which has its own ministry. But, we defend themselves at the Hôtel de Roquelaure, where the ministers of ecology followed one another, “it is not a departure”. “We must not take these decrees as a sausage, there is largely enough work for two ministers. The former ministry of ecological transition no longer exists, but is replaced by a trio, the Prime Minister responsible for planning ecological and two ministers, “said the entourage of Amélie de Montchalin. And rather advance the “return to a large ministry, like that of Jean-Louis Borloo [in 2007, minister in the government of François Fillon, with in his portfolio ecology, energy, transport, housing, The sea, climate negotiations …] “, citing in particular the arrival of local authorities in the new ministry, with the Authority on the General Directorate of Local Authorities.

In fact, the two ministers share the premises of Boulevard Saint-Germain, also with Christophe Béchu, Minister Delegate in charge of local authorities, and will be able to coordinate their actions. The strategic Directorate General of Energy and Climate (DGEC) goes under the main supervision of the new Ministry of Energy Transition, but that of Amélie de Montchalin has joint authority over this direction, with regard to the related skills “To adaptation to climate change, air quality and technical vehicle regulations”. This is not very precise and does not say, for example, what will be projects for the implementation of renewable energies, which have strong overlaps with the issues of biodiversity or link with local authorities.
