In the largest fresh market, under 'threat' of blockade: "There is less activity, there are customers who are afraid" Two tanks and dozens of gendarmes and police have been protecting the entrances to the Rungis international market, on the outskirts of Paris. French farmers have been protesting for more than 10 days over the conditions in which they work.
They criticize that there are an excess of standards in France, beyond those required by Europe, which makes production more expensive for them than elsewhere.
