THE Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) has announced two-week closure of a phone shop located in Al Rayyan for displaying and selling counterfeit batteries bearing international trademarks.
The inspection campaign comes within the framework of the ministry's efforts to monitor markets and commercial activities in order to crackdown on price manipulation and uncover violations as well as counterfeit, fraudulent and substandard products.
The outlet was fined and closed for a two-week period in line with article (7) of law number (8) of 2008. Article 7 compels suppliers to clearly display on the product's package or label the type and nature of the item as well as other relevant data. The law also prohibits the display of fraudulent descriptions, advertisements and misleading statements.
The administrative closure declaration shall be published at the expense of the company or shop that committed the violation in accordance with Article (18) of Law No (8) on Consumer Protection.
