In the wake of intensified inspections, the Market Inspectorate has also carried out inspections related to the verification of the quantity and weight of products among economic operators in the Republic of Kosovo.
In order to remove any doubts regarding the weight and quantity of the products, the samples were sent to the laboratory for relevant analyses, and thereafter it was found that a type of cooking oil on the market does not meet the criteria.
The verification report from the Kosovo Metrology Agency, namely the pre-packaging laboratory, has found that a cooking oil, produced in Serbia, fails to meet the average quantity criterion as provided for by Regulation 03/2020 on Prepacked Products.
Consequently, the Market Inspectorate, as in any other case, has taken measures in accordance with the applicable legislation in the Republic of Kosovo, by prohibiting the economic operator respectively the importer of this oil to sell this product and withdraw it from the market within 15 days.
The Market Inspectorate of the Republic of Kosovo continues to carry out on-site verifications and inspections for consumer protection and will continue to do the same in the coming days.
On this occasion, we call on citizens-consumers to be attentive during purchases and to continue to address complaints/notifications to the Market Inspectorate, through the Department for Consumer Protection in the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade regarding any violations of consumer rights.
In any case, citizens are invited to report to:
Tel: 0800 11000 or
E-mail: Konsumatori@rks-gov.net
All your requests and reports will be carefully considered.
Thank you for your cooperation!
