The plan involves every sector of its economy reducing emissions, bar one, the transport sector, which will be allowed an anticipated increase of 25%, until the year 2010. This allowance will annually nullify all other reductions.
The major highways of France are used by northern and southern European countries as passenger and freight throughways, thereby burdening many communities and damaging the environment.
