BUILDING MORE AND FASTER – Mouvement Ecologique addresses specific questions to Minister Serge Wilmes and Minister Léon Gloden

Three ministries – the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Housing and Regional Planning and the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Biodiversity – have recently presented a package of measures on behalf of the government: ‘Building more and faster’.

There is a consensus that there is a need for action – particularly in affordable housing construction. It is also clear that approval procedures should be simplified and harmonised. The Mouvement Ecologique has therefore made several concrete proposals in recent years as to how nature conservation procedures can be simplified on the one hand – and how this can even create added value for nature on the other.

However, in the opinion of the Mouvement Ecologique, the government document presented is highly problematic. In a detailed analysis entitled ‘Unbalanced government document with one-sided orientation raises numerous questions!’, the Mouvement Ecologique took a stand on the government proposals.

The government document gives the impression of taking into account different interests. In reality, however, it could prove to be a Pandora’s box at the expense of nature and people’s quality of life!

The Mouvement Ecologique has now sent two letters to both the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, Serge Wilmes, and the Minister for Home Affairs, Léon Gloden, requesting more detailed information.
