Hrayr Karapetian, secretary of the National Assembly's Armenian
Revolutionary Federation faction and the chairman of the NA group that
deals with consumer rights, recently raised the issue of violations
of the consumers' right in the sector of food.
Speaking on April 11 at the National Assembly, Karapetian noted
that some food products in the Armenian market do not comply with
the Armenian legislature: some products lack necessary labeling in
Armenian, or labeling is incomplete.
Karapetian said, "The group and the non-governmental organization
protecting the consumer rights call the attention of the authorities on
these issues and demand taking measures to ban products with incomplete
or absent labeling. Also, we demand more control for securing relevant
certificates at retail stores."
The NA members also demanded that the street trade be halted and
exercise more control over the conditions of the products in terms
of temperature and hygiene.
The statement was also co-signed by the Consumers Rights NGO.
