Informing the consumer public about the products participating in the “household basket” initiative can also be done through a special mark placed on the products or in their physical or electronic sales area or in any means by which the products are advertised in the consumer.

Businesses participating in the “household basket” initiative can obtain access to the special badge by sending a request to the email address [email protected]. The use of the special mark of par. 1 by businesses that do not participate in the “household basket” initiative is prohibited. Businesses that violate the aforementioned prohibition are subject to administrative sanctions, in accordance with Article 13a of Law 2251/1994.

The competent authority for the control of the implementation of the “consumer’s basket” is defined as the Directorate for Data Management, Statistics and Electronic Commerce Supervision of the Interagency Market Control Unit (D.M.E.A.). Sanctions for non-sending or incomplete sending of a list of products by the debtors (administrative fine of 5,000 euros for each day of delay in sending a complete list) are imposed by decision of the Governor of DIMEA. The decision to impose a fine can be appealed before the administrative courts, within the prescribed period.
The imposed sanctions are collected in accordance with the Public Revenue Collection Code (K.E.D.E.) and attributed to the state budget.
