The French Senate has ratified the creation of a committee of enquiry "to shed light on the practices of bottled water manufacturers", particularly with regard to prohibited filtration processes, announced the committee's rapporteur, Alexandre Ouizille, in the night of November 6, 2024. The Socialist senator specifically targets Nestle Waters, owner of the Vittel and Perrier brands, which, in agreement with the Epinal public prosecutor's office, is to pay a fine of 2 million for using unauthorised filtration treatments on mineral water and for drilling without authorisation.
