#2> the court of appeal extended the list of allowed items to include, among other things, high tech and IT goods. The court also significantly reduced the fines in case of non compliance from €1 million to €100,000 per unauthorized item "received, prepared and/or shipped."
That still sounds high enough and vague enough that I expect Amazon will keep their French distribution centers closed for now.

#4Seems fair enough - the courts are saying that Amazon has to restrict deliveries (in France) to essential items such as food and medical supplies until a risk assessment has been done on they way the are running things at the moment. To me that doesn’t seem to me to be overly burdensome. Perhaps the stumbling block is finding someone willing to be the one signing off on it.

By following the official recommendations. Unions are making sure they do.

How are you able to derive from the article's summary that this is vague?
Beyond that, we all know that "vagueness" was just an Amazon pretext to force France to allow them to operate unchecked, i.e. without providing the demanded protection and deliver any item.

Note that what courts are blaming Amazon for is not to deliver unnecessary goods, but to not care enough for the security of their employees in their warehouses.
So basically, it's not a problem for other delivery services who took stricter safety measures.
If anything, telling them they can still continue deliver necessary goods is a bit lax, because their employees are not safer processing those.
The Amazon answer is quite unbearable, to be honest. Basically, it's "people can't live without us, so we should be above the law". It's time to show them we can live without them.

Do you have any evidences about other delivery services taking stricter safety measures?
