“It’s the big ones before the small ones (…) All of us, as citizens, will be all the more inclined to make an effort in our daily lives, on heating, on air conditioning, if we feel that it’s a general mobilization, that there is an effort by public authorities and large companies.”

“We have to go faster” and “control more”, specifies the Minister Delegate in charge of Transport who will bring together “rapidly” all players in the sector to be “ready to accelerate at the start of the school year”.
