The Minister of Development, Kostas Skrekas, said: “After checks on large chains selling electrical and electronic goods, we found violations that exceed 1.4 million euros. I want to be absolutely clear: misleading consumer practices are not tolerated. The controls will be intensified in the next period. We will not allow any illegal act that leaves citizens unprotected and distorts healthy competition”.
