Within the framework of the activities of the Ministry of Business and Trade made on the occasion of the Seventh Gulf Day for Consumer Protection, the Department of Consumer Protection organized a number of events which aim to increase the consumer awareness through different ways.
In this framework, the CP department set up an exhibition to distinguish between the original and counterfeit goods, as a way to clarify the differences between the original and counterfeit goods that were monitored in the local markets through the inspections made by the Department of Consumer Protection, so that consumers can learn about these differences closely.
The exhibition began on the first of March at Villagio Mall where it stayed for a period of (5) days, before moving to the Landmark Mall where it stayed for a similar period. The selection of these two places was made due to the presence of the large number of consumers, so that the exhibition can reach its desired aim through the large public gathering in these two centers.
In the same context, the Consumer Protection Department organized on Wednesday evening, (03/07/2012), in the Hall of Sheikh / Fahad bin Jassim Al Thani, God bless his soul, at the ministry building, a lecture given by Sheikh Dr. / Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al-Arifi, under the title of “Trader Ethics”. Dr. Al Arifi described during the lecture the morals of the good trader, and the ethics that should be present in every trader such as honesty and legitimate earning.
The lecture was attended by a large number of the ministry’s officials and employees, and a number of Businessmen, in addition to a large public gathering.
