Consumers can contribute to reducing prices, Skrekas says

We are redesigning the e-katanalotis platform so that the consumer knows the exact cost of the products he wants to buy in the supermarkets around his home and where he will find the cheapest prices, Development Minister Kostas Skrekas said on Thursday speaking to ANT1 TV.

"The consumer could prepare a basket with the products he wants to purchase and see how much it costs in each super market. There will be over 3,000 product codes on this platform, which correspond to 70-80% of consumer products," he added.

In the coming days, the new option will be presented on the e-katanalotis platform, as the minister said and underlined that consumers have the power to contribute to reducing prices.

"We want to empower our households and give them the chance to compare prices from their homes, as they would do in super markets," he added.

In reply to a question about market inspections, he said that "inspections continue and fines are imposed," adding that 80% of the fines imposed have been collected or confirmed.
