Trade Ministry banned agents of censorship and repression of fraud to benefit from annual holidays during Ramadan, and throughout the summer season, preferring to postpone the file to next September, in order to avoid any problems that could adversely affect the public order, during the holy month, after the ministry decided to open markets for the needy citizens which are led by the General Union of Algerian Workers across all the provinces of the country, and not to make it the preserve of a few Wilayas, like the situation was during the past years.
President of the National Union of Commercial Control Agents revealed from the Trade Ministry about the freezing of the annual holidays for 10.000 agents until after the summer, by order of the Trade Ministry for fear of any deficiency in the number of control agents during Ramadan, which usually noticed fraud, counterfeiting and trafficking corrupt goods that are not conform to the international standards.
“The ministry also ordered the intensification of the activities of agents to the after-school hours, and the extension of alternating periods of work at night and during the weekend (Friday and Saturday), where inspection visits of markets will be organized and retail shops and wholesale shops.”
“Agents received an intensive work program during the holy month and summer season that includes tightening control over goods which enter the national markets, especially in terms of parallel markets and make visits to points of sale. We reassure citizens that this month will be safe this year, and will not know any abuses, because control agents will be on the lookout in order to avoid any violations.”
