In spite of an action by Members of Parliament before the Constitutional Council, law n° 2020-1578 relating to the conditions of marketing of some plant protection products in case of sanitary risk for sugar beet was adopted on December 14, 2020 and the order of application on February 5, 2021. The appeal is coupled with a demand for summary judgment.
