Post #13 for the Economy of France...

Well, here I am to write another blog for the economy of France. Coming across nytimes.com, I found an article that mentioned how France for a little while was for the idea of creating a tax for carbon emissions with trying to help the environment a little more. Even though this was in thought for a while, France finally came to the decision of retiring the idea for now. They came to the conclusion that for now it would leave France with more of a disadavantage compared to the other surrounding countries.

There was meetings where Parliament discussed how France's environment and the policies concerning this needs to be on the same level with all the other countries. According to this article, it sounds like France was all for making these taxes on carbon emissions but that in reality, they just were not as prepared and that there was more time spent not getting anything done rather than accomplishing something. Now although there are several countries that have taken part in creating carbon taxes, there are also countries that just would not approve. Not all of the other members of the European Union would agree to this kind of plan.

This was a plan for France created by the President only to help financially with the benefits in order to better the environment of the country. Since France does have so many factors when it comes to the agriculture for example the farmers, truckers, and fishing fleets, it could have maybe been beneficial. Because of these people, there would have been certain benefits and discounts for these people since alot of these people do get around on vehicles that let out alot of carbon dioxide. I guess for now the government will let this idea slide but will try and bring this up again maybe in July. I suppose one's opinion would result from depending on how much he or she cares about the environment since this really is all for an attempt to better the environment of France.
