Proposition de loi modifiant le Code de droit économique visant à offrir au consommateur le droit de ne pas se voir imposer l'impression d'un ticket de caisse.

Stage en_commissionUpdated 3mo ago

This is a Belgian private member's bill that would amend the Code of Economic Law so that shoppers can decline having a paper till receipt printed. The proposal is tagged under environmental protection, suggesting its aim is to reduce paper waste from receipts that are often discarded immediately. Based on the title and metadata only, the full legislative text has not been reviewed. Shoppers in Belgium would gain a legal right to refuse a printed receipt, and retailers would be expected to respect that choice. Shops and point-of-sale systems would be affected by the obligation, while consumers who want a paper record would presumably keep the option to request one.
