The Inter-Service Market Control Unit (DIMEA) in Greece has issued fines totaling €26,500 to 24 businesses in January as a result of inspections conducted throughout the country. These measures are aimed at ensuring compliance with product market legislation. The fines, which ranged from €500 to €3,000 each, reflect various violations of market regulation rules.

The fines were imposed under the provisions of law 4177/2013 and the ministerial decision 91354/30.08.2017, which outlines the 'Code of Rules for the Movement and Trade of Products and the Provision of Services' (DIEPPY Rules). These laws are designed to maintain fair competition and protect consumers in the marketplace. The consistent enforcement of these rules by DIMEA reflects the government's commitment to supervising the economy effectively.

This recent action emphasizes the importance of regulatory compliance for businesses in Greece, as violations can lead to significant penalties that impact operations. It also serves as a warning to other businesses to adhere strictly to market regulations to avoid similar fines. DIMEA’s initiatives aim to promote a fair market environment in which consumer rights are protected and healthy competition is fostered.
