Retail Association Calls for Fair Treatment Amid Government Fine Controversy in Greece
The Hellenic Retail Business Association (SELPE) issued a statement responding to fines imposed by the Ministry of Development on retail companies. They argue that the businesses they represent, which employ a significant portion of the workforce and pay most taxes, are easy targets for penalties that do not match the severity of infractions. SELPE emphasizes the need for timely communication regarding violations and advocates for a regulatory framework that ensures fairness in enforcement, especially during critical retail periods like Black Friday.
