The Government intends to introduce order in Moldova’s internal trade, as it considers the existing highest prices in Europe on consumer goods in one of its poorest countries as a crime against the citizens.<\/p>\n

Vice-Premier, Minister of Economy Valeriu Lazar said that the reason for high prices on consumer goods is a high cost of trade transactions.<\/p>\n

"It is not normal, when the profitability in the trade constitutes 500%", the minister considers.<\/p>\n

He expressed his dissatisfaction concerning the quality of products at the market.<\/p>\n

"There are thousand and one controlling institutions in the country, but despite of this fact consumers have to buy low-quality products", Lazer said, who considers that the provision of the Moldovan citizens’ decent life and consumer protection as the state’s most important objective.<\/p>\n

Lazer said that the Government will have to analyze the situation in the retail trade and services network of the Moldcoop Union of Consumer Cooperation. He expressed regret with the fact that the Moldcoop will not invest its financial resources in the development of its own infrastructure and it will not attract investors’ financial resources.<\/p>\n
