Consumers' Union: Armenian consumers in need of awareness raising

PanARMENIAN.Net - "One of our main problems is raising awareness among consumers. A consumer should possess maximum knowledge about products, including expiry date, and apply to relevant agencies in case of having problems," Head of Consumers' Union Armen Poghosyan told today a news conference. He also informed participants about the operation of a new hotline service.



There no street trade in legal terms, the speaker finds. To that end, he noted the importance of "Lowering prices on market tolls."



Market and supermarket studies will be organized late in August with the purpose of enhancing services and normalizing relations between consumers and producers, Pogosyan said.



Violations will be sanctioned by fines in the amount of AMD 50 to 100 thousand.
