Tirana Municipality inspects food markets

The Municipality of Tirana inspected the food market at the former Dinamo Plant, in order to verify the prices of wholesale and retail products.

Vice Mayor Edmond Panariti, accompanied by the Municipal Police and officials from the Agency for Consumer Protection asked the merchants to make their prices transparent.

The Vice Mayor declared that the inspections will focus on the prices for the days to come, and that the Municipality is determined to protect the consumer from abuses that happen each year during the winter holidays.

Task force for prices

The Albanian consumers, different to the other countries, face a price increase during the holiday season. This year, the merchants will be facing a task force that will stop the artificial price increase on the last days of the year.

The Mayor Lulzim Basha met a group of representatives from food product merchants, asking them to stop price abuses.

But the merchants have asked infrastructure facilities and intervention in customs, for not withholding the goods of some merchants in order to favor others.

The merchants will have their prices displayed, and the Municipal Task Force will check the prices and the daily turnover, in order to avoid high prices.
