The Ministry of Development publicize them fines in the following four companies, which had been identified by the operation of the digital tool for identifying misleading discounts used by the Ministry’s audit services, just as it had happened before the first announcement of the 5 companies last Friday.

-AXF SA 400,000

-Pharmacy Discount 55,000

-Trade Status 55,000

It is recalled that a total of 14 companies were identified which in recent weeks have made misleading discounts. Pursuant to Article 9j of Law 2251/1994, a fine totaling 2,220,000 euros was imposed. Article 13a provides for the publication of the specific companies, as long as the fine is more than 50,000 euros.

In the rest of the companies, the process of notifying them is pending and their information will be published soon after. In two cases the fines are below 50,000 euros, in which case their names will not be announced as the Law stipulates.

Controls continue to protect consumers and healthy entrepreneurship, the ministry concludes in its announcement.
