Per Martin at WDWMagic.com - I believe he stated UoE may close this year, looking potentially by Oct. Then again I may be mixing it up with GMRIt will either close by the end of this year or early next. Permits have been filed for the area.

Scrims/fences have appeared in France...
Pics or it didn't happen!
Hope they are not just varnishing all the "wood parts" (podcast joke)
I heard they had to close those areas due to a rat infestation.
After reading your response, my initial reaction was "What do you mean a rat infestation?! I was hoping they'd be beginning construction on Ratatouille."
.... it's been a long week. I'm counting down the hours to the weekend.
For what it's worth, the fencing that's been put up in France is actually past the pavilion, along a little walkway between France and Morocco. The images below highlights the location, so a number of people are speculating that the work could be prep for F&W, not Ratatouille.
Yep, October (after Epcot's 35th anniversary) is what Martin said for UoE closure.

There were a ton of permits/notices of commencement filed on 6/19 all around Epcot property. All of them were to "Provide labor, material and/or electrical." I would associate them to F&W and not a new attraction build.
This was my feeling also, but a permit that is clearly for Rat just surfaced which has it right behind that area. This may be to build up the landscaping in that area to hide the area where Rat will be.
That's expected to be the queue.Note the shaded area that labeled "FUTURE WORK UNDER SEPARATE PACKAGE." This appears to be extension/connection to the existing building.
