Situation in France: Nanoparticles in the Grenelle Environment Forum
Résumé
The aims of the round table talks in France known as the grenelle environment forum were to implement plans of action with regard to sustainable development and reach a consensus between the various economic and social players. It lasted 2 years, from the first meetings of the working groups in the summer of 2007 until the law referred to as Grenelle I was voted after a second reading to parliament in the spring of 2009. Over the two years, the various positions adopted with regard to nanomaterials, nanotechnologies, and nanoparticules (the three lines of attack were used) gradually began to consolidate.
