Since June 2020 and the end of the first confinement, the government had relaxed the conditions of use of these meal vouchers distributed by companies to their employees.

This relaxation had already been extended twice in 2020 and 2021.

The doubling of the daily amount authorized was to stop at the end of February, but restaurateurs "have again been penalized in recent weeks", justified Bruno Le Maire.

In addition, the Ministry of the Economy clarified in a press release that employees still had the possibility of exchanging their 2021 titles with their employer for 2022 titles until March 15.

If the restaurants have been able to reopen for several months, customers have been subject to the health pass since last summer and now to the vaccination pass.
