Romania’s National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC) conducted nationwide inspections of over 1,500 businesses between June 15th and 19th. The inspections revealed numerous irregularities, prompting the ANPC to issue fines exceeding 4.4 million lei – equivalent to approximately $980,000 USD. The agency did not specify the nature of the violations discovered during the sweep. This action demonstrates a concentrated effort by the ANPC to enforce consumer rights and market regulations across the country. The substantial amount of the fines indicates widespread non-compliance among businesses inspected. Further details regarding the specific infractions and affected businesses have not yet been released by the ANPC. The agency routinely conducts such inspections to ensure fair trade practices.
