> "This operation may seriously destabilize the Parisian trade balances" the Mayor ton, who regrets not having been informed of the arrival of Prime Now "a few days before launch." The municipality intends to refer the matter to the legislature, citing "the need to establish, by law, be able safeguards to ensure that such services come to constitute unfair competition against traders and craftsmen"

> The municipality requires the US company to be exemplary on its HR policy, the amounts of pollution emitted by its delivery vehicles and on maintaining the quality of life of people living near the storage center.
