　フランスでは毎年衣類７０万トンが廃棄されており、うち３分の２が埋め立て地に運ばれている。
　ベランジェール・クイヤールエコロジー担当長官は同日、責任あるファッションを推進する「ラカゼルヌ」のパリ事務所を訪れ、「消費者は１０月から衣類や靴の修理で支援を受けられる」と述べた。すべての工房や靴メーカーに参加するよう求めた。
　新制度では、靴のかかとの修理で７ユーロ（約１１００円）、衣類で１０～２５ユーロ（約１５００円～３８００円）の補助を受けることができる。２０２８年までに１億５４００万ユーロ（約２４０億円）が投じられる。
　新制度はすでに導入されている家電製品の修理補助制度を参考にしている。政府は２２年末以来、環境への汚染度が高いとされるファッション産業の大規模改革に着手している。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

From October, France will pay a bonus to encourage people to have their clothes and shoes repaired rather than throwing them away, the government said.
The move aims to cut down on the 700,000 tonnes of clothes thrown away by French people each year, two-thirds of which ends up in landfills.
From October, consumers will be able to be supported in the repair of their clothes and shoes, secretary of state for ecology Berangere Couillard said Tuesday during a visit to the Paris premises of La Caserne, a hub for responsible fashion.
She invited all sewing workshops and shoemakers to join the system, to be labelled by eco-organisation Refashion.
Under the scheme, customers will be able to claim seven euros ($7.7) for mending a heel and 10-25 euros for clothing repairs from a 154 million euro fund set up to cover 2023-2028.
In France, 3.3 billion pieces of clothing, shoes and household linen were put on the market in 2022, according to Refashion, which has been instructed by the government to support a more sustainable industry.
The goal is to support those who do the repairs, Couillard said, referring to sewing workshops but also those brands which offer repair services.
Modelled after the household appliance repair bonus, the aid is part of a vast reform of the textile sector, one of the most polluting industries on the planet, initiated by the French government since the end of 2022.
Its objectives include forcing brands to have more traceability and to financially support organisations specialising in reusing and recycling clothing.
