Flammables ban in Paris stores
No firelighters, fireworks or heating oil can be sold until the Paris climate summit is over
SHOPS in the Paris region have been banned from selling fireworks, household fuels and other flammable products as a security measure while the UN climate change summit is under way.
Hundreds of diplomats and politicians are converging on the French capital from this Sunday until December 13, with 11,000 police officers deployed to ensure their security.
Motorway traffic is likely to be disrupted at short notice as convoys of cars under police escort make their way to the summit.
Buying, storing or transporting fireworks is forbidden in the Ile-de-France region until the event is over - unless you have a pyrotechnics licence.
White spirit, firelighters and heating oil are among the items on the list that shops must remove from their shelves.
