"Si chiude cosģ una storia a metą tra la farsa e il colpo di mano. Č durissimo Roberto Della Seta, presidente di Legambiente, nel definire il nuovo codice dellambiente approvato oggi in Consiglio dei Ministri. Č una farsa - continua Della Seta - il fatto che una legge cosģ importante e che dovrebbe regolare tutta la normativa ambientale diventi un decreto legislativo senza alcun confronto né con le associazioni, né con le regioni, né in Parlamento dove il testo č andato avanti a colpi di fiducia. Una pseudo-riforma che cancella norme avanzatissime, dai rifiuti alle acque alla valutazione dimpatto ambientale, che non risolve quella necessitą di semplificazione delle leggi ambientali di cui ci sarebbe bisogno". Ora il testo tornerą alle commissioni parlamentari, che hanno 20 giorni per esprimere il parere definitivo, per poi arrivare di nuovo in Consiglio dei ministri per l'approvazione finale. Un vero passo indietro. "Se il Parlamento non riuscirą a bloccarla quando sarą chiamato ad esprimere il secondo parere, ci aspetta una deregulation senza limiti sui rifiuti, dall'apertura delle nostre frontiere a traffici incontrollati di rifiuti ferrosi e non, al ritorno alla tassa rifiuti ed alla totale disincentivazione della raccolta differenziata" afferma Vittoria Polidori di Greenpeace.

Mr. S. Faizi, an ecologist from Kerala specialising in international environmental policy argues that "It is not only in the application of violence that the current scenario evokes the lessons of revolution but also in the glaring dichotomy of the values of the revolution. It was well after the terror laden French revolution that the country has massacred hundreds of thousands of people in Africa and the Caribbean for asking for freedom from occupation, for equality among all humans and for human liberty. The Clemenceau sailing to the Indian shores is a declaration that what is unsafe for the French is readily fit for a Third World country."
