 Consultative Commission on the Environment and working groups |
|
The Cannes-Mandelieu Airport Consultative Commission on the Environment which meets annually is made up of three joint groups: aviation professionals, local authorities (Town hall, Departmental Council, Regional Council) and associations, totalling around forty members.
This commission is consulted on all important questions relating to the development or operation of the airport, likely to have a positive or negative impact on the hub's environment.
A permanent committee, which is a product of the Consultative Commission on the Environment has also been created. Smaller in composition (around fifteen members representing the three groups), its purpose is to deliberate quickly on matters which are submitted to it by the Sous-Préfet, president of the Commission, in particular because of their urgency.
 The latest meetings
The 1st meeting of the permanent committee of the Consultative Commission on the Environment was held on 8th June 2006:
During this meeting, basically the development project for the North area of Cannes-Mandelieu airport was questioned.
The project thus obtained the backing of all residents associations and consequently the validation of the departmental Commission for the sites.
The Consultative Commission on the Environment of 9th February 2007 focused on the points:
- Presentation of the 2006 aviation activity assessment;
- The actions of the 2003-2008 Environmental Charter and their progress;
- Results of the noise measuring campaign for the high season 2006 with a comparison to 2005;
- Launch of the process for drafting the new 2008-2013 Environmental Charter.
Various working groups have been set up at Cannes-Mandelieu Airport, each of them covering different areas of airport activity:
 |
- Helicopters working group;
- Sound pollution working group;
- Flight paths working group;
These working groups meet at least twice a year. To find out meeting dates, see the 2007 schedule. |
