The minimum fines for incomplete labels of food and clothing have also been raised to RON1000 from RON500.
The new penalties will enter force when the act is published in the Official Journal. The Government stated that inspections or calls from consumers have revealed numerous cases of incomplete or inaccurate labels.
The Executive has also decided to allow complaints about unfair business practices to be filed not only with the National Consumer Protection Authority, but also to an association set up for this purpose, which may demand an end to the reported practices within 20 days.
