Things consumers and shoppers should watch out for
If the percentage of products supplied at a reduced price exceeds 60% of their total, it is mandatory to indicate the percentage of the discount provided in the shop window and in any other commercial communication.
If there are different discount rates per product category, the range of the rate offered should be indicated (“from …. % to …. “).
