Merchants worry about COP15 barriers

Merchants in the zone around the Palais des Congrès are worried about the effects the COP15 barriers will have on business, especially with the news that they may be left up till January, blighting the holiday season.

Although there’s some indication here that COP15 deliberations may last beyond December 19, the official ending date, the real reason for not removing them seems to be simply that the contract says they needn’t guarantee their complete removal till after the Christmas break.
