The Minister of Development, Kostas Skrekas, said:

“Controls are constant, will be intensified and where provided for by the legislation, hefty fines will be imposed.

We are not satisfied until order and legality prevail throughout the market.

It is our duty to crack down on all illegal activity and to protect consumers.

The sole criterion of the government and the Ministry of Development is to implement the law and support households affected by inflation.”
