The Commission for Exceptional Situations extended the list of the most necessary products on which the profit margin is limited. The measure was taken in a bid to stop the unjustified rise in prices, Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilița stated after the meeting of the Commission, IPN reports.

The pork on bone, poultry, frozen fish, sugar beet sugar, eggs, pasta, potatoes, onion, white cabbage, fresh carrot and beet were added to the list.

Natalia Gavrilița said the extension of this list was discussed earlier too, but this became extremely necessary now that the situation is difficult and the people need assistance.

Minister of Economy Sergiu Gaibu said the taken measures were discussed with representatives of the commercial chains, who showed solidarity. For the limitation of the profit margin not to influence the suppliers of these goods, there was also limited the application of retro bonuses, marketing costs and other instruments that are usually used in shop chains.

The discussions also centered on the supplementing of the stores of products that were earlier brought from Ukraine. These will be substituted with goods from other countries and there are now no reasons for concern, stated the official.
