From the French AIP:

If a pilot of an ACFT plans to use the RWY 25 for safety reasons, he should have to report it to CHARLES DE GAULLE approach at the first contact. Flow control measures (potential holding) should apply to him in order to ensure the compatibility with PARIS-CHARLES DE GAULLE traffic.

Yes, I was referring to data from ADSBExchange. I didn't just make it up.
