Operation pricing audit reveals "real excesses----------Francois Fillon said in Blois Friday that the first results of the survey price verification launched earlier this week at his request reveal "the real excesses" on the part of manufacturers and distributors that the government intends to "denounce".
"The results will be known in a few days but already I can give you some ideas. Ago excesses, it is indisputable", the Prime Minister said during a visit to support the candidate New center of Blois.
After noting that the investigation of 60 million consumers published earlier this week which had highlighted a surge in the price itself consisted of "excesses", he added: "At the same time, there are some real excesses you encounter every day when you do your shopping ".
"We will expose those who engage in unacceptable increases their margins, which are not justified. You can not ban them. It is in a country where prices are free," he continued.
"There are prices of products that increase quite excessive, even though the raw material does not justify the increase," he said.
The head of government has taken for instance the same product based on wheat "which increases by 27% with a supermarket and declined by 4% in another."
"Nobody wants to control prices but at the same time, it is necessary that the French know that such and such a great brand, that any sign of the mass distribution does not lead well," continued the chef du gouvernement .
"Afterwards, the Parliament will have to decide in the spring by an increase in competitive conditions. It is putting pressure on the big retailers that we can bring down prices of products in our country", he added.
Regarding the "excesses" of the study by the consumer magazine, Mr. Fillon cited included in the goods-reference for a "honey-smoked ham" sold on the Internet.
"It is not quite in the basic basket of goods. I never ate smoked ham with honey," he added.
