Informing the consumer public about these products is mandatory through a special sign placed on the products or in their physical or electronic sales area or in any means by which the products are advertised to the consumer.

The special mark must be placed next to the purchase price of each product included in the “household basket” on the shelf on a separate tab.

The obligation to apply the above dimensions of the special mark begins on December 1, 2022.

In addition, a clear list/catalogue of the products that make up the household basket as well as the prices at which the products are offered is posted at the entrance of each store.

Supermarkets should ensure that the products declared in the “household basket” are in their stores in sufficient quantity and are available to the consumer without interruption.

If the stocks of a product participating in the “household basket” run out in one or more stores, the supermarkets temporarily replace the out-of-stock product with a similar product available at the same or lower price and in the same or greater quantity.

If there is no such product in the store, the obligees ensure the supply of the store in which the product sold out within two (2) days with a sufficient quantity of the product sold out or inform the Ministry of Development and Investments and the e-katanalotis digital platform about the definitive replacement of the product in all their stores.

The new product should also be in adequacy. Definitive product replacement is allowed only once until the new regular product catalog submission.

  • Businesses that violate this obligation are subject to an administrative fine of two thousand (2,000) euros per store in which the violation occurs.
