March 1999A draft bill was approved by the French Parliament (July 1st) that will set up an independent group call the "Authorities de Control des Nuisance Sonores Aeroportuaires" to monitor noise levels at French airports and will be allowed to impose fines of up to 12196 EU ($13,000) Voir DGAC on airlines and on pilots that disregard noise abatement procedures on take-off, landing or engine run-ups. This group is set to be and operating by fall 1999. The new law also restricts helicopter operations over over populated areas.
