The amendments provide for the extension of the Euro Act for a period of one year. The texts prohibit the increase in prices of goods and services when this is not economically justified.
A double increase in fines for violators is planned, which will be imposed by the Consumer Protection Act. For individuals – they should be in the range of 1,000 to 10,000 euros, and for legal entities - from 5,000 euros to 100,000 euros.
According to the bill, traders will be obliged to publish the prices of goods from the large consumer basket on their websites daily.
