Edenred is down more than 6% amid prospects of a dselay in the adoption of the meal voucher reform. The project has already been postponed several times due to changing political conditions in the country.

Danone is losing about 1%, while Pernod Ricard, Orange, Teleperformance, Safran, L'Oreal, Sanofi and Essilor Luxottica are down 0.4 to 0.8%.
