In a decision signed by the Minister of Development, Kostas Skrekas, both the product categories and the time distance from the expiry date are specified. In fact, for this, a special marking is required in supermarkets that will say “Product with a close expiration date”.
The accusations
Specifically, the regime, where the three-month “block” will not apply, includes the following categories of goods: rice, bread and toast, pastries, toast, pasta, flour, pulses, cured meats, canned goods, frozen fish, fresh pork, fresh chicken and parts of chicken, fresh beef, fresh whole and low-fat milk, pasteurized (long-term) whole and low-fat milk, chocolate milk, plant-based drinks, evaporated milk, yogurt and yogurt desserts, creams and rice milk, cheese, tomato juice , sauces and stock cubes, mayonnaise, ketchup, eggs, butters and margarines, jams and spreads, olive oil, seed oils, frozen vegetables, frozen doughs, sugar and sweeteners, oat products, baby cream, packaged coffee, juices, soft drinks, beer , water, chocolate (solid and drinks), canned dog food, canned cat food and halva.
Triple benefit
The responsible Ministry of Development notes that the implementation of this measure will lead to a triple benefit, concerning consumers, businesses and the environment. And this, since phenomena of food waste (food waste) or the destruction of stocks that might be made available at particularly low prices to interested consumers will be dealt with, while at the same time the adoption of new environmentally sustainable behaviors by citizens and the supply chain is promoted.
Promotional actions that can be implemented include the following:
* The sale of a product for which it is stated in any way that it is sold at a lower price than any reference price (e.g. discount or offer),
* the sale of a product for which it is declared in any way that it is sold in a package containing an additional quantity as a “gift” for the consumer,
* the sale of multiple packaging, consisting of more than one identically packaged product, for which it is declared in any way that it contains one or more “GIFT” packaging or that it is offered at a lower price than any reference price (e.g. discount or offer ),
* the sale of a product that is declared to be sold together with another, different, product as a “GIFT”,
* the sale of a product with a discount or offer provided by a discount coupon, gift certificate, shopping points or other reward systems (e.g. loyalty cards),
* engaging in any retailer brochure or advertisement that states or implies that the product is offered at a consumer-friendly price (eg references such as “only”, “best value”, “great price”, “bargain”).
Extension of the measure and strict penalties
