Direction aux Affaires Savoisiennes Savoy annexed by France in 1860 Treaty against the Charter of the United Nations Thank you, Mr President, We hear every day problems related to water and on the round (floor) pollution. In Savoy, the first source of disease comes from air pollution, although it is well known that one can live several days without eating but just a few minutes without breathing. Arve Valley has a population less than 100 inhabitants per km². Paris region by comparison has more than 1,000 inhabitants / km². For comparison, the Paris region only receives about 15 days of alert or information per year for peaks pollutions ; while we are in Savoy more than fifty during the same period. France, much more concerned about the problems of pollution in its capital, abandons its last colonization (Savoy) and proposes no concrete solution that it authorizes in Paris ; Proof of existing discrimination between France and Savoy. Pollution in Savoy can not only be attributed to heating as the French government says, but must be compared with road pollution and, of course, industry. Why in Paris, are provisions made to prohibit traffic to the most polluting vehicles, eliminating certain roads, and all this is refused in Savoy ? Yes, Savoy is not France, and we realize this every day with this kind of discrimination. Even WHO recognizes that urban pollution level are exceeded several times during the year and for periods of several days, including in summer, when the heating systems doesn‘t work. The WHO also acknowledges the premature death of approximately 60 people per year in Arve Valley due to pollution, ie one person per 2 days of exceeding urban pollution level. For 25 years, the Association for the Respect of the Mont Blanc Site (ARSMB) has been trying to get recognition for the state of the degraded air in which we live, although some mayors publish the opposite by quoting « air Pure from our mountains ». Even the Geneva newspaper "Le Temps" can not stay a week during the winter period without mentioning the problem of "air pollution". The first cause of pollution is road transport with near 600 000 trucks and bus and more than 1 200 000 cars a year using the mont blanc’s tunnel. The second cause is industry with one which between 2010 and 2015 has doubled its emissions of fine particles and other air pollutants as well as a public incineration plant whose release data is not publicly available. Both are located at the bottom of the valley, where the winds are near zero and whose close and elevated reliefs prevent the dispersion of particles and gases in Suspension in the air. The third cause, therefore, remains the heating of businesses and homes. Here again, the French Government does not type where it should be satisfied with wood heating (Open hearths) but not reflecting any alternative for heating oil and gas. Whose old heaters are very energy-intensive and therefore very emitting fine particles... It is necessary to relativize as fuel, diesel and gas are taxed at nearly 80% of their selling price. There is no alternative only to find that the inaction of the French public authorities in Savoy, On the problem of pollution and the discrimination between Paris and Savoy in the fields of traffic and heating; But in addition, while the number of passenger cars continues to increase in our valleys, the State shareholder of the SNCF suppresses trains between Paris and Savoie by replacing them by buses that are not even European standard. The French State therefore does not take any action on major generators of pollution : polluting companies, intarnational raod transport The COP 21 advocated by France makes us laugh in Savoy because we see that the financial interest is well above the wellbeing of the inhabitants.
