Traders call for organising work of regulatory agencies

AMMAN — Traders on Tuesday expressed concern over the disruption at shopping centres caused by the frequent and unorganised inspection campaigns carried out by several monitoring agencies.

Foodstuff Traders Association (FTA) President Samer Jawabreh called on monitoring institutions to refrain from imposing “unfair” closure penalties on commercial centres and to allow a grace period for traders to rectify their status.

Following an FTA meeting with shopping mall representatives on Tuesday, Jawabreh also called on the monitoring agencies to provide guidance for traders on self-monitoring mechanisms, according to a FTA statement.
