Two decrees relating to the application of the Hamon law were issued in March 2105.
According to the decree of March 11, 2015 relating to price reduction announcements to consumers, any price reduction announcement is lawful provided that it does not constitute an unfair commercial practice. It is specified that in the event of an announcement made in a commercial establishment, the labelling, marking or display of prices include:
- the advertised reduced price,
- the reference price which is determined by the advertiser and from which the price reduction.
Similarly, the price reduction of a uniform rate, relating to clearly identified products or services, can be made by cash discount.
In this case, this modality must be the subject of information. Finally, the decree specifies that the advertiser must be able to justify the reality of the reference price from which the price reduction is announced.
Published in the official journal of March 25, 2015, the decree of March 17, 2015 relating to the prior information of the consumer on the provision of services to the person, fixes in addition to the display already carried out, a list of information relating both to the service provider, than to the services he provides.
