French National Assembly Approves Extension of Restaurant Voucher Use Until 2026
On November 21, 2023, the French National Assembly urgently passed a measure extending the use of restaurant vouchers for purchasing all food products until the end of 2026. Originally implemented in 2022 due to COVID-19, this extension supports purchasing power amid ongoing inflation. The proposal, receiving unanimous support in the Assembly, now awaits confirmation from the Senate. Secretary of State for Consumption Laurence Garnier emphasized the importance of this measure for consumers and plans to discuss further reforms for restaurant vouchers in 2025.
