Qatar and its various institutions are committed to provide the highest standards of quality while ensuring the protection of the legitimate interests of citizens and residents in compliance with international standards and charters and the World Trade Organization rules, the Government Communications Office (GCO) has said.
In a statement, the GCO said on May 26 and June 6, 2018, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI) and the Ministry of Public Health issued provisional circulars to protect the rights of consumers in Qatar.
At that time, some goods entering Qatar did not meet standards and regulations in accordance with Law Number (8) of 2008 concerning Combating Commercial Fraud, such as presenting misleading trading information on the promoted products, it said.
The statement said Qatar has reviewed the relevant consumer protection and public health legislations as well as regulations in light of the current situation. It was found that, since the provisional instructions were implemented, there has been a decline in the violations considered to be acts of commercial fraud.
Moreover, suppliers have taken necessary measures to ensure the highest quality
of products imported to Qatar. Both the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Public Health in Qatar are convinced that it is no longer necessary to continue applying these provisional circulars.
