Price Increases Must Be Approved By Uccs

Abdulwahab Al-Faris, Chair of the Union of Consumer Cooperative Societies (UCCS), says the prices of all commodity items included in the circulars of the union have not increased since he was appointed. No one can impose any increase without following the relevant process on the union’s website and the issuance of a circular to cooperative societies in that regard, reports Al-Anba daily. In a press statement, Al-Faris explained that the union had fine-tuned the matter by not allowing companies to communicate except via the site. Requests for an increase can only be made through the site.

Any request outside the site is directly rejected, and is not taken into consideration. He assured consumers that the door for increasing prices through the union’s website is completely closed and will not be opened at the present time. He stressed that the union has not and will not increase the price of any product in the near future.

A consumer's responsibility, according to Al-Faris, is to contribute to the control of violations that occur in cooperative societies, by monitoring the same product and verifying its previous and subsequent prices, as well as to file an official complaint with Consumer Protection Society so that it can carry out its work, verify the complaint, and hold the cooperative society accountable for violating the circulars issued.

It is only possible to violate the law by bypassing the union or by going through the supplying company. Consumers should pay attention to a very important matter represented in the fact that the product’s features have increased, which may be in weight or components. Companies sometimes increase the weight of their products or change their components, causing the price to rise. When reviewing the price, this matter is taken into consideration.
