Question 12136 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Ms. Marie-Christine Dalloz questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the future of press houses and tobacconists. The economic context of these local businesses has, for several years, been unfavorable with a crisis in the written press versus digital and a fight against smoking through a significant increase in taxation which automatically implies an increase in prices for the consumer. If the objective public health is laudable, the method shows its limits. Certainly, the Government has achieved a slight drop in consumption but at the cost of a sharp increase in counterfeit and contraband purchases estimated at between 15 and 30% of the market. She would like to know the support measures that the Government will put in place to compensate for this drop in sales and guarantee sufficient income for these traders.
