Management was informed Tuesday evening. Coif’Hom in Chartres (Eure-et-Loir) will remain closed for four weeks, Place des Épars. New sanction from State services after an inspection on March 13, which revealed among the employees, a 20-year-old Tunisian in an irregular situation on French territory. Since January, administrative closures have increased in Eure-et-Loir. This Thursday, April 25, four new closures have just been added to the list HB Coiffure in Chartres closed for four weeks for employment of an employee in an irregular situation, Andiamo Pizza in Toury (Eure-et-Loir), also closed for a month for the same reason, Coiff Beauvoir in Châteaudun (Eure-et-Loir) which was closed for six weeks due to an irregular employee and the Berliner Doner Kebab in Nogent-le-Rotrou (Eure-et-Loir) , who must cease his activity for eight weeks, again because of two employees in an irregular situation without work authorization.
This Thursday morning, in Nogent-le-Rotrou, gendarmes and veterinary service inspectors are going to check two kebabs. In the first in the heart of the Gauchetières district there are few anomalies. The fridges are not perfectly clean, a package of turkey breast is expired, and the sauces that garnish the sandwiches are not stored cold even though they are opened. “It’s not catastrophic, it’s more cleaning, we’re not in a problem establishment,” guarantees Amandine Moullac. The products are good, the temperatures too, there is no danger in coming and eating,” adds the food safety inspector.
The director, Medhi, is not impressed by the raid of the police on his establishment. “In general, things always go well,” smiles the young boss. The one who risks getting into trouble is the Moroccan employee present when the gendarmes arrive. The man is unable to provide the necessary documents to work legally in France. He is summoned to the police station. Still in Nogent, rue Tochon, a stone’s throw from the cinema, new hygiene services inspection. Here, the two inspectors note more serious failings regarding cleanliness. “There is no hand wash, no bactericidal soap, no hand towels, there is no trash can,” lists the agent. The establishment will be the subject of a “formal notice with a period of one month to comply” promises the inspector.
Closed businesses also pinned on the networks
Fast food, barbers and certain hotels are in the prefecture’s sights. “I have a firm policy, because I believe that economic public order is part of the security that we owe to our fellow citizens,” conceded prefect Hervé Jonathan a few days ago. Since the start of the year, six administrative closures have been ordered, due to serious and immediate threats to public health. “I asked that more severe sanctions be taken in relation to the facts incriminated,” said the prefect. For the businesses involved, there is really no longer any right to discretion. “We systematically communicate on the networks when we close for hygiene reasons because certain offenders, in bad faith, either do not display this order, or in such a way as not to be readable to consumers or indicate that the business is closed for work,” the state representative further reprimands.
The latter also intensifies the fight against illegal work, “which causes triple harm to social and economic public order: to employees whose rights are not respected, to companies which respect the law and are victims of unfair competition , as well as to the community which is deprived of the social contributions and taxes which are due to it” specifies the prefecture.
All checks combined, 800 inspections were carried out in 2023. Around fifty of these checks gave rise to sanctions. “It will be more this year, if the pace continues,” confirms those around the prefect.
