French Carbon Tax to be Revised
The French Constitutional Court annulled France`s carbon tax on the basis that it allowed exemptions for 93% of industrial emissions, including politically connected farmers and fishing operations. The exemptions were the result of compromises to maintain competitiveness, according to the government. President Sarkozy`s administration said it will resubmit a revised program. France is a Green Plan nation listed on Resource Renewal Institute`s Green Plans in Action page.
