The Ministry of Economy and Commerce carried out a surprise inspection campaign on tailor shops in Souq Al Ali, in order to monitor the compliance of their owners to their obligations under Law No. 8 of 2008 on consumer protection.
The campaign, which covered 30 shops, resulted in the seizure and issuance of 3 violations related to the failure to advertise prices, which is contrary to the provisions of Article 8 of Law No. 8 of 2008 on consumer protection. The Ministry confirmed it will be firm against all those not complying to the consumer protection law and its executive regulations. It also confirmed it will intensify its inspection campaigns to control such practiced and refer all violators to the concerned entities to take the appropriate measures against them.
The campaign comes within the framework of the Ministry’s keenness to regulate and monitor the markets and commercial activities in the country with the aim of controlling prices and detecting violations in order to protect the rights of consumers.
