Looser shopping rules?
Print Edition
VISITORS to France should be allowed to shop till they drop seven days a week, the country’s foreign minister said on Tuesday, weighing into a fierce debate over restrictions on Sunday trading.
“Tourism is an absolutely key sector in France: seven percent of jobs, with considerable room for growth,” Laurent Fabius said. Fabius, who also handles the trade and tourism portfolios following a government reshuffle, added: “The tourist who comes on a Sunday and goes to a store that is shut is not going to come back on Thursday.
“For tourists, shops must be open (on Sundays),” he added, saying workers would be duly compensated.
Retailers in France can only open on a Sunday under very specific conditions. Recent court rulings have forced some stores in Paris to end late-night shopping.
