Michel Chevaly on the board of the Territorial Environmental Agency

One can only believe that the sincere appeal made to the president the Collectivity was heard. The deliberation 2013-027 CT made on March 15, 2013 concerning the designation of the members of the board for the Territorial Environmental Agency was annulled and a new deliberation integrating our representative onto the board was adopted on May 3. We made this appeal as we considered that the conditions under which the board members were named the first time did not respect the criteria as defined by the territorial council itself. As a result, Michel Chevaly now represents St Barth Essentiel on the board of the Territorial Environmental Agency, which was officially created last May 20 during an installation ceremony. Benoit Chauvin was named president of the agency, and Franciane Lequellec, former director of the Réserve Naturelle de Saint-Barthélemy, was named as director. Michel was not appointed to the board of the agency. We hope that our participation in making such decisions will lead to a better consideration of environmental protection.
