peer agreement (net): +2padlock law Explanation: "At the time the company had 80 supermarkets which covered the main towns in Belgium. The public authorities enacted the first drastic laws intended to restrict the spread of large surface stores. These were known as the "padlock law". Delhaize needed to find a balance between expansion abroad and outside Europe, where these measures were becoming the norm, and prudent diversification in Belgium." HTH, Serge L.
