LA FINE DELLA CLEMENCEAU - FEBBRAIO 2006
THE END OF CLEMENCEAU - FEBRAURY 2006
The suggestion of state has agreed with Greenpeace, to the committee anti-asbestos Jussieu, to the association national victims of the asbestos and to Ban Abestos. The decision important più and that it creates the problem of più long duration to the French government è that the military residues as the hull of the Clemenceau they don't escape the category of the "scorie"s, entering with this the categories foreseen by the convention of Basilea if, as the Clemenceau and a lot of other ships in end career, is full of asbestos.
The decision forced of Jacques Chirac marks a serious let-down for the president and for its minister of the defense, Michael Alliot-Marie, after a long and sour war with the environmentalists, but doubly embarrassing, also perché everything this happens to few days from a visit of state of Chirac in India, where he/she wanted to relaunch the image and to push the penetration industrial and financial French in one of the areas dynamic più of the globe, but where for now the transalpine presence has not broken down.
To Chirac and the government it also has to not only burn the bad impression to international level, but also the attack of the oppositions that you/they take advantage of the general embarrassment to define "grottesca" and "ridicola" the whole adventure of the ex aircraft carrier and the ministerial choices.
The ex aircraft carrier I will be brought in the I bring military of Brest passing for the head of Good Hope.
The ship, in disarmament from about nine years, it had left on last December 31 the I bring military of Tolone after a sentence of the Parisian administrative court that had rejected then the application of the environmentalists.
The ship hauled by tow should employ around three months for the long trip back I pour the French territorial waters, whose additional cost è been valued in around a million of European.
Then I will be proposed the problem of whether to do with that wreckage become bulky and also very expensive.
Laurent Fabius, ex socialist Prime Minister and candidate to the Eliseo, have proposed the creation of a "big European cantiere" to remove the asbestos from the ships, also perché "cis are a lot of other ships that are in the same situation of the Clemenceau".
