Creation of an end-of-business allowance for tobacconists in border departments

Decree No. 2006-471 of 24 April 2006 creates an end-of-business allowance for tobacconists located in a border or similar department whose tobacco deliveries have fallen significantly compared with 2002. It equals three times the net commission and additional commission received in 2002. It is awarded by a joint committee on criteria (share of tobacco in the business, distance to the border, sales trend, the tobacconist's situation, etc.); a tobacconist who accepts it resigns without a successor and the outlet closes permanently.
