for the sales industry.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">From Tuesday, unsolicited calls are prohibited for businesses in all sectors &#8211; but there are some exceptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Calls will only be permitted if they relate to a contract a person has already entered into or the company has obtained prior consent to be contacted for marketing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It cannot be stressed enough that peace and quiet is a right, and it is time to stop exposing consumers to unwanted solicitations,&#8221; consumer advocacy group Que Choisir Ensemble, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;This observation also holds true online and on the street, which are saturated with demands to consume,&#8221; group president Marie-Amandine St\u00e9venin added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She said the group had long been advocating &#8220;for an end to the automatic assumption that someone in their home or private life is a potential customer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;This is a victory for consumers, the vast majority of whom do not want to receive sales calls,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But the law change has riled some business groups, and officials in Morocco, where the call centre sector is heavily reliant on the French market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">One government minister estimated the telemarketing restrictions could lead to the loss of up to 50,000 jobs, according to a report in Moroccan newspaper Le Matin. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The head of France&#8217;s direct-selling trade association, the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration de la Vente Directe (FVD), also criticised the reforms for adding what he said were administrative burdens for businesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;You&#8217;ll have to obtain written consent from your customer, and you&#8217;ll also have to keep proof of that consent,&#8221; Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Billon said in comments reported by the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">According to a 2025 parliamentary report, 97% of people are annoyed by telemarketing calls, with the authors wryly noting it is &#8220;one of those rare issues that unites people in France&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The same report found 72% of French people reported being contacted on their mobile phones at least once a week, while 38% said they were called once a day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Germany, Austria and Italy are among the European countries that impose significant restrictions on telemarketing calls, often referred to as cold calls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In the UK, most telemarketing calls are legal provided the recipient has not objected to the call and their number is not on a statutory list of people or businesses who do not want to receive calls. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
