Parliament: The invoice towards punctuality was authorized by a majority – 2024-05-23 12:28:16

The Ministry of Growth’s invoice with measures to stop accuracy and defend shoppers was authorized by a majority by the competent committee of the Parliament.

The Minister of Growth, Kostas Skrekas, closing the assembly, referred to the federal government’s initiatives to take care of corruption and the phenomena of profiteering, noting, amongst different issues, the imposition of extreme fines on multinational corporations.

“Some time in the past I signed a brand new effective of 400,000 euros on a big multinational. Solely Greece has institutionalized a ceiling on the revenue margin and those that violate it can pay dearly. Does this clear up the issue? Clearly, one measure doesn’t clear up the issue, however we are attempting with a community of measures to take care of the issue of accuracy,” he mentioned.

Earlier, the president of the Manufacturing and Commerce Committee and ND MP Christos Boukoros proposed to the management of the ministry to proceed with the necessary itemizing of the producer value subsequent to the retail value so that buyers can examine the variation of the worth from the sphere to the shelf.

“Right this moment all of the manufacturing items, whether or not within the main sector or crafts and industries, are working with a revenue of 5 to 7% which is an inexpensive revenue. However the client sees on the shelf the retail value of the identical product 2 and even 3 instances increased. The opposite hyperlinks of the commerce, resellers and middlemen, work with a revenue fee of 25% and 30% which is unacceptable and the ministry should create a mechanism that can outline and management the revenue margin that ought to exist in these phases” mentioned initially Mr. Boukoros so as to add “It’s not potential for the subsequent phases of manufacturing to earn greater than the manufacturing itself.

I am not saying that the proposal to listing the manufacturing value subsequent to the steered retail value will clear up the issue, however I believe it can carry to the fore phenomena of greed profiteering.”
