CTIA controls at Colours of Ostrava festival
(Ostrava, July 21, 2011) Last week, Ostrava hosted 10th multi-genre music festival Colours of Ostrava. Inspectors of CTIA Moravskoslezský and Olomoucký Inspectorate were also present there to check stalls, restaurants, bars and hotels that were offering their services to the festival’s visitors near concert stages. Out of 17 controls, defects were found in 8 cases, i.e. ca 47%.
Particularly, the following breaches of the Act on Consumer Protection were found: seller did not provide the declared weight; another one did not allow his customer to weigh the meal served and check the declared weight; elsewhere purchase of control was billed incorrectly – of course damaging consumers. In 3 cases, information on prices of products offered was missing; two sellers used uncertified measuring tools and 1 seller did not make his products be visibly and understandably marked with defined information. One seller did not provide information about the amount concerning buy-out of returnable deposit packages.

Inspectors imposed 4 fines at the spot in the total amount of CZK 5,000 and other 4 checked persons wait for administrative proceedings concerning sanctions to be launched.
