On November 20, the National Assembly adopted the bill tabled by Anne-Laure Blin, deputy for Maine-et-Loire, to extend the temporary exemption for the use of restaurant vouchers which expired on December 31. However, the adoption of the motion of censure had the immediate consequence of suspending the parliamentary procedure. “There are therefore today millions of French people who are deprived of this use to buy products that are not directly consumable (flour, pasta, butter, etc.)”believes the member for Maine-et-Loire. “ At the crossroads of the issues of both the purchasing power of the French but also the necessary support due to artisans and traders in the catering sector, this text was eagerly awaited on the ground. And yet some preferred to overthrow the government without worrying about the concrete consequences for daily life. CThis is why it is appropriate at this stage to exert all the necessary energy so that this derogation can be quickly adopted. The Senate is likely to examine the text in public session next week. And I will also meet the new minister in charge of this file – Véronique Louwagie – next week to consider the avenues to pursue to bring to fruition the highly anticipated file of the global overhaul of the use of this title requested by all the stakeholders ( employees, restaurateurs and issuers) of the sector » indicates Anne-Laure Blin.
