Un precedent jurisprudențialo-constituțional important în recunoaşterea și exprimarea juridică a interdependențelor dintre mediu și sănătate [Decizia Consiliului Constituțional al Franței din 31 ianuarie 2020 (2019-823 QPC)]

Abstract

In a relatively slow but constant evolution, the case law of the Constitutional Council of France has admitted, by a decision of January 31st, 2020, the nature of constitutional valuable objectives both for environmental and human health protection, in balance with the freedom of enterprise. The new case law consolidates the relation between environment and public health, favors the emergence of concepts bordering the both fields, and bears an important meaning in comparative law.
