Frequency of sending the product catalog and informing the public
The obligees must send the list of products to the Ministry of Development on a weekly basis, every Wednesday by 9:00 am. The sending of the product catalog for the companies that are obliged to send data to the electronic platform e-katanalotis is done through the platform and for the other companies the sending of the catalogs is done with a list sent to the electronic address gen-sec@mindev.gov.gr .
In terms of informing the consumer public regarding the products that are part of the “household basket”, this is mandatory:
a) Through a special mark placed on the products or in their physical or electronic sales area or in any means by which the products are advertised to the consumer,
b) by posting, at the entrance of each store, a clear list/catalogue of the products that make up the household basket as well as the prices at which the products are offered,
c) through a separate point of sale, in a prominent position of the store, where the products are placed and made available to the consumer public
The special mark must be placed next to the purchase price of each product included in the “household basket” on the shelf on a separate tab.
It is recalled that the companies participating in the initiative can gain access to the special mark by sending a relevant request to the email address gen-sec@mindev.gov.gr, they must ensure the adequacy of the products participating in the basket and that for the companies that violate the legislation, administrative sanctions are imposed.
