    -Merchants will be required to put signs in front of all products that have been reduced in size without a corresponding price cut.

    What’s to stop the manufacturer reducing the item by, for example, 10% in size, and 2% in price?

      I’d hope that’s covered by the definition of corresponding, though I am neither French nor a legal expert so I can’t say for sure.

      I would think that would be covered by the corresponding price cut part. If they are smart they put in a clause that says the price cut has to be proportional or bigger otherwise it is considered shrinkflation.
