France approves ‘anti-Amazon’ bill

France has approved a bill to support independent bookstores against competition from online retailers.

bbc.co.uk

“The BBC’s Paris correspondent Christian Fraser said the bill “might be seen as payback” for Amazon’s practices of reporting European sales through a Luxembourg holding company, to take advantage of comparatively low corporate tax rates.

“French Culture Minister Aurelie Filippetti has criticised Amazon’s practices in the past, particularly free deliveries or its policy of “tax optimisation.”

The Academy is also against ‘le cheeseburger’.
