The Ministry of Economy and Commerce issued a total of 76 violation reports from intensive inspection campaigns during the month of October 2016 to monitor the compliance of the suppliers with the obligations stipulated by law No. 8 of 2008 on Consumer Protection.
The inspections were in the framework of the ministry’s keenness to monitor markets and commercial activities in a bid to crack down on price manipulation and protect consumer rights.
The violation reports included those for failure to include clearly all the information related to the displayed product, identify service information, including its advantages, characteristics and prices, using false and deceptive information when describing, advertising or displaying the product, failing to announce product/service prices, selling and displaying expired products, failure to comply with the prices of fruits and vegetables stated in the daily bulletin, and reducing the weight of local and Arabic bread.
The fines issued by the ministry to the violated outlets included closures and financial penalties starting from QR5,000 up to QR30,000, in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Consumer Protection Anti-Commercial Fraud department.
