I apologise; my point is that for a certain period of the year, the opening hours are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., from April to August, including Sundays. This provision merely extends these opening hours to the rest of the year. I do not necessarily envisage every shop opening for these hours and appreciate that employees' concerns must be addressed by employers. This legislation merely seeks to apply a consistent regime of opening hours all year round.
