The Ministry of Economy and Commerce has deteced three violations while carrying out a surprise inspection campaign on shops in the North and Ruwais.
The Ministry pointed out that these violations were for failing to declare the price, the lack of advertisement in Arabic and for advertising without a licence, which is a clear violation of the provisions of Law No. (8) of 2008 and law No. (5) of 1984 on selling through sales (clearance).
The Ministry said that it will firmly deal with the negligent in carrying out their obligations under the Consumer Protection Act and will step up inspection campaigns to control such practices, and will refer anyone who violates the laws and ministerial decisions to the competent authorities to take appropriate action to protect the rights of consumers.
The Ministry of Economy and Trade urged all consumers to report any abuses or irregularities or suggestions through the channels of communication.
The inspection campaigns aimed at monitoring the compliance of shops with consumer protection laws and ensure their commitment to the application of laws and ministerial decisions.
