Court in France tells Amazon what it can deliver to customers

AFrench court on Friday rejected US online retailer Amazon’s appeal against a ruling that restricts what it can deliver during the coronavirus crisis.
Amazon must limit deliveries in France to IT products, health items, food and pet food, the Court of Appeal in Versailles said, adding that for every delivery not meeting this requirement, Amazon would face a 100,000-euro ($108,020.00) penalty.
Confirming the initial ruling, the court said the restrictions must be put in place while Amazon evaluates and improves its health measures to prevent the 10,000 people it employs at six warehouses to catch the COVID-19 disease.
“We’ll evaluate the consequences of this decision for our business, our employees, our customers in France, and the many small and medium-sized companies that rely on Amazon to grow their business,” the group’s French subsidiary said in a written statement.
