The minister said there were also plans to restrict the use of illuminated signs
In the coming days, she will issue two decrees: the first will widen the ban on illuminated advertising, whatever the size of the city, between 1 am and 6 am.
The second will ban shops from having their doors open while the air conditioning and heating are working.
- Paris (AFP) – Air-conditioned shops in France will be ordered to
keep their doors closed or risk being fined, a minister said Sunday
announcing an upcoming rule to combat energy wastage.
- Leaving
the doors open when the air conditioning is on leads to "20 percent more
consumption and... it's absurd," French Minister of Ecological
Transition Agnes Pannier-Runacher told RMC radio.
- Some cities in
France -- which like other parts of Europe has been gripped by a
heatwave recently -- passed municipal by-laws in July, imposing fines
for offending air-conditioned shops.
- "In the coming days, I will
issue two decrees: the first will widen the ban on illuminated
advertising, whatever the size of the city, between 1 am and 6 am", with
the exception of airports and stations, Pannier-Runacher told the
Journal du Dimanche newspaper.
