THE Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) has intensified its intensive inspection campaign ahead of Eid Al Adha.
The campaign targets shops, malls and retail outlets specialised in selling Eid items and accessories. These include shops selling readymade garments, perfumes, accessories, shoes and textile, tailors, gold and jewellery shops; fruit and vegetable outlets, sweet and nut stores, barber shops, beauty salons and car washing centres.
The ministry is also monitoring promotional offers across markets and the subsidised sheep initiative, to ensure the compliance of suppliers (retail outlets) with their obligations under Law No 8 of 2008 on consumer protection.
The ongoing inspection campaign, which has covered more than 1800 retail outlets so far, resulted in 13 penalties.
