Chambers of Commerce backs call for abolition of Groceries Order
In its submission to the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment, which is carrying out a review of the Groceries Order, the CCI said it must go. It said the order "is flawed on many levels, creating an anti-competitive environment, unnecessarily higher prices and the potential for Enron-esque accounting practices in the retail sector".
The abolition of the order was recommended by the Consumer Strategy Group, though the Government is canvassing the views of interested parties before making any decision to scrap it.
