According to the Public Relations and International Affairs of the Kish Free Zone Organization, as part of ongoing plans to protect consumer rights, organize the market and supervise the activities of commercial units, field inspections by supervisory and executive bodies of the island’s commercial units were carried out on Wednesday, 14 Mordad.
This inspection was in continuation of the ongoing market monitoring process and aimed to review the prices of essential goods, compliance with trade rules and regulations, the units’ possession of legal permits, and addressing public complaints.
During this field inspection, the performance of commercial units was reviewed in terms of how goods and services are offered, pricing, compliance with regulations and the status of activity permits, and two commercial units were sealed until they obtain legal permits and resolve the reported issues due to lacking the necessary permits and multiple complaints.
Sadegh Davaei, deputy and special representative of the Kish Prosecutor in trade inspections, said on the sidelines of this visit: it was decided that field supervision regarding prices and other legal permits of commercial units be put on the agenda, and by order of the honorable prosecutor, I was appointed as the representative to oversee this matter.
Referring to the inspections carried out, he added: given the positive feedback received from residents of Kish Island, special attention to the prices of essential goods was emphasized, and this led to this part of the supervision being pursued with greater focus.
Davaei continued: in this regard, meetings were held and I find it necessary to appreciate the cooperation of the Kish Free Zone Organization, the merchants’ community and also the Police Department of Butiks who accompanied and cooperated as needed so that we could properly carry out our supervisory duty.
Sadegh Davaei, deputy and special representative of the Kish Prosecutor in trade inspections, emphasized: field supervision of the performance of commercial units, prices of essential goods, compliance with legal regulations, the status of permits and handling public complaints will continue vigorously with the aim of supporting the rights of Kish residents, tourists and consumers.
These supervisory patrols, aimed at organizing the market, improving service quality, preventing trade violations and preventing infringement of consumers’ rights, are pursued within the framework of the ongoing Kish market monitoring programs.
