Tunisian Authorities Remind Citizens of the Consequences of Non-Display of Prices
Price Display Laws in Tunisia
The Tunisian authorities have reminded citizens that the non-display of prices is a punishable offense under Law No. 36 of 2015, which aims to reorganize competition and prices. Those who fail to comply with this law may face fines ranging from 50 to 2,000 dinars.
Sanctions for Non-Compliance
According to Article 46 of the law, financial penalties are imposed on individuals who do not respect the rules governing price display, incomplete price display, or the absence of a price list in accordance with current regulations. This measure aims to ensure transparency in commercial transactions and protect consumers by providing them with the right to be informed of prices before making any purchase.
Consumer Rights in Tunisia
Tunisian legislation has enshrined the consumer's right to prior information on prices as part of the protection of their purchasing power and the strengthening of transparency in commercial exchanges. This right is essential for consumers to make informed decisions and avoid potential scams.
Reporting Irregularities
The authorities are calling on citizens to report any infractions or irregularities observed in commercial practices to the economic control teams under the Ministry of Commerce and Export Development. This will help to reinforce respect for the law and combat abuses.
