This priority is being materialized through actions, controls, fines, constant briefing and a communicative line build with citizens-consumers.

    There is a small rate on the consumers who react when the product they have bought or are about to buy has a certain problem. More specifically, 4 out of ten questioned proceed to complaints or return the product they bought. 36% do not buy the product again, 14% phones to the products company to complain while 14% do not react.

    As per the preferences for Greek and imported products, 9 out of ten prefer Greek products. On reference to quality and safety rules, local products come first gaining 66,5% of consumers who consider these products very safe. Products of big companies are preferred too (51%) in contrast with smaller companies products (30%).
