Commission for Consumer Protection (CPC) Chair Maria Filipova stated that the refusal of a large part of the retail chains to provide the information that the Consumer Protection Commission has requested from them hinders its inspections, the CPS said. This refusal also undermines the institution's attempts to help normalize the market environment. In this way, the retail chains, instead of assisting the state in restoring the normal functioning of the market, which is in the interest of all participants in the chain (producer, supplier, trader, consumer), increase the risk of a continued deterioration of the market situation, Filipova explained.
