During discussions regarding illegal activities in areas with a high risk of unauthorized street vending, experts analyzed preventive measures and identified joint actions to combat this phenomenon.
The participants agreed to continuously monitor such areas to ensure a fair and transparent business environment.
What the City Authorities Are Doing Today
Today, the city council is approving regulations that designate areas where street vending is prohibited—in the historic center, in parks, on sidewalks, near educational institutions, and near architectural landmarks.
City Hall organizes auctions to allocate spaces for legal mobile vendors (kiosks, stalls). This generates revenue for the budget.
In addition, the municipal police, together with representatives of the prefectures, regularly patrol the streets. Reports are filed based on the results of these patrols for trading without a permit, without business registration, or in violation of health and safety standards. Violators are fined.
