National Code of Practice on Dual Pricing: The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

The Department, in conjunction with the Office of the Director of Consumer Affairs, is currently preparing a National Code of Practice on Dual Pricing in the context of the introduction of the euro. The Code will incorporate the European Commission’s recommendations on dual pricing and dual display and will require that dual displays of prices be unambiguous, easily identifiable and clearly legible. The Code will form part of the Department’s strategy to help protect consumers in the changeover process. There will be full consultation with interested parties.
