Violations of catering industry units and commercial units of supermarket chains have significantly decreased in Pest county in recent years thanks to the series of inspections by the consumer protection authority, according to the mayor’s information on Wednesday.

Richárd Tarnai, the head of the Pest County Government Office, said that his colleagues have recently checked compliance with the rules for curbing alcohol consumption in order to protect children and young people. It is extremely important to protect the health of future generations – he emphasized.

He called it a sad fact that 19 out of 40 inspections – i.e. 47.5 percent – served alcohol to minors. The specialists carried out the inspections in shops, catering establishments, gas stations; it was established that the sellers did not ask the young people about their age when paying and did not ask them to provide creditable proof of their age – the chief added.
