Moselle authorities issue seasonal restrictions and business authorizations

The Prefect of Moselle has implemented several administrative measures regarding upcoming seasonal festivities. To prevent potential disturbances during Halloween celebrations, an order has been issued banning the purchase and sale of F2 and F3 type fireworks from October 30 to November 1. Additionally, the use of such fireworks on public roads is prohibited during this period, and the transport of fuel in jerrycans or containers is also restricted.

In preparation for the holiday season, the Prefect has authorized retail businesses in Metz to open on five specific Sundays leading up to Christmas. These dates include November 22 and 29, as well as December 6, 13, and 20, with a maximum operating limit of 10 hours per day. This decision aims to support the Metz Christmas Market, which is scheduled to open on November 20. The authorization specifies that participation must be voluntary and no employee can be compelled to work on these days.
