I don't think you're stupid. You said the doc was wrong, and I answered
you it wasn't. But I understand it didn't help you solve your issue...

Anyway, if you gave us the error message, it would be easier to answer
you. Here is the error message I get:

ERROR:  relation "new" does not exist
LINE 18:    FROM   NEW                  ^

And actually, you can't use "FROM NEW". And this:
 INSERT INTO T_MESURE_MSR SELECT MSR_ID, MSR_DATE, MSR_MESURE FROM   NEW WHERE NOT ( OLD.MSR_DATE < DATE '2000-01-01'
)

has no meaning at all in PostgreSQL.
