Large retailers oppose the closure of “non-food” departments

The large distribution federation on Sunday expressed its “total incomprehension” and its “opposition” to a closure of its “non-food” departments, considered by the government to appease small traders.

Such a measure “lack of justification in terms of health” and “would complicate the lives of the French”, underlines in particular the Federation of commerce and distribution (FCD) in a press release. It asks the government to “favor a gradual reopening of small businesses, by appointment, accompanied by increased control measures for current gauges in stores.”
