Une décision du tribunal administratif de Pau a déclaré illégal un arrêté préfectoral de 1999 qui interdisait la vente de pain sept jours sur sept dans les Landes, révèle France Bleu Gascogne.

A recent decision of the Pau business (administrative) court declared illegal the DPP decision in 1999 which prohibited the sale of bread seven days a week in the Landes (Region 40), revealed France Bleu Gascogne.

Les boulangers landais et même tous les commerces répertoriés comme des points de vente de pain ne seront donc plus obligés de fermer un jour par semaine.

Landes boulangers and all shops that sell bread will no longer be obliged to close one day per week. Due to a recent appeal on behalf of five boulangers.

Depuis le 25 mars 1999 un arrêté préfectoral interdisait aux commerces landais de vendre du pain tous les jours de la semaine. Pendant plusieurs années certains boulangers et terminaux de cuisson ont bravé l’interdit. Mais en 2015, cinq boulangers landais s’étaient retrouvés devant la justice, condamnés par le tribunal de police à des peines d’amende pour ne pas avoir respecté cet arrêté.

Since 25 March 1999 a DPP decree prohibited Landes shops to sell bread every day of the week. For many years some boulangers and baking outlets have contested the prohibition. But in 2015, five Landes boulangers found themselves before the judges, convicted in the DPP court and fined for not observing the decree.   

Le tribunal administratif précise que l’arrêté de 1999 n’avait pas “été signé par le syndicat national des industries de la boulangerie-pâtisserie et fabrications annexes, par le groupement indépendant des terminaux de cuisson, la fédération des entreprises de commerce et de distribution, le syndicat national de l’alimentation et de la restauration rapide et le conseil national des professions de l’automobile, etc.”. La préfecture des Landes a jusqu’au 22 mars 2016 pour faire appel de cette décision. D’ici là, les boulangeries landaises pourront être ouvertes 7 jours sur 7.

The administrative court specified that the 1999 decree was not “signed and ratified by the national union of boulangers and patisseries and other independent bakers, along with the various distributions companies, fast-food restaurants and delivery drivers, etc..” The Landes DPP has until 22 March 2016 to lodge an appeal.  From now the Landes boulangers can be opened 7 days per week.

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
