Doha: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) carried out an inspection campaign on street vendors in Abu Nakhleh Azab Complex area today to monitor the extent to which suppliers (roving vendors) comply with their obligations stipulated by laws and decisions related to commercial, industrial, public stores and street vendors.
The ministry explained that the inspection campaign resulted in the issuance of 7 violations for a number of street vendors, for engaging in an activity without a commercial license. The ministry referred the violators to the competent authorities to take legal action against them.
The MoCI confirmed that these inspection campaigns come within the framework of the Ministry's keenness to monitor compliance with the laws and regulations regulating the practice of commercial activities to control violations and detect abuses.
It warned that it will not tolerate anyone who violates their obligations stipulated in Law No. (5) of 2015 regarding similar industrial and public shops and street vendors, and Ministerial Resolution No. 243 of 2016 regarding the controls and requirements for licenses to engage in the activity of a street vendor.
The ministry stressed that it will work to intensify its inspection campaigns to control such violating practices, and will refer anyone who violates laws and ministerial decisions to the competent authorities to take appropriate measures against them to protect the rights of consumers.
The MoCI urged all citizens and residents to report any violations or abuses through the call center: 16001, and the accounts of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry on social media (Twitter MOCIQATAR, Instagram MOCIQATAR).
