The Financiers of the Provincial Command of Bologna seized approximately 1000 unsafe electronic and various jewelery products, ready for sale, without compliance and safety requirements, in a commercial business selling various items in the area of the New Imola District, managed by a subject of Chinese nationality.
In particular, the prevention and repression of violations regarding “product safety”, carried out by the soldiers of the Imola Company and carried out as part of the ordinary “Economic control of the territory” activities, prevented the sale of products lacking the minimum information content and all other indications relating to the composition and the possible presence of substances harmful to health provided for by European and national legislation which would have generated approximately 4,500 euros in illicit profits.
The anomalies found, including the absence of the CE marking (synonymous with certified quality), triggered the immediate administrative seizure and the reporting of the owner of the business to the Chamber of Commerce of Bologna for violations of articles 6,7,9 and 11 of Legislative Decree 206 of 2005 (Consumer Code), for which an administrative fine ranging from a minimum of €516 to a maximum of €25,823 is envisaged.
