The application by the Public Authority for Consumer Protection (PACP) will advise consumers on the cheapest commodity markets, in addition to enabling consumers to report violations and submit complaints, said Omar bin Faisal al Jahadmi, director general of consumer services and marketing control at PACP. "The app will help foster a sense of competition among supermarkets and hypermarkets to provide consumers with the best available prices in order to attract more footfalls," Jahadmi added. ___ (c)2012 AME Info (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) Visit AME Info (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) at www.ameinfo.com Distributed by MCT Information Services |
