Améliorer et accélérer la lutte contre la prolifération de la chenille processionnaire du chêne

This French private member's bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) from the National Assembly aims to improve and speed up measures against the spread of the oak processionary caterpillar. This insect's larvae have bristle-like hairs that cause skin, eye and breathing irritation in people and animals, and it damages oak trees. The bill seeks to make responses to outbreaks more effective and quicker. The bill would mainly affect local authorities, forest and tree managers, public health services and residents in areas where the caterpillar is established. Specific provisions cannot be confirmed from the title alone.
