The supermarket chain operator had pledged to carry out a HUF 1.7 billion program to boost the volume of local suppliers’ products on its shelves after the watchdog found Spar Magyarország had violated rules by requiring suppliers to pay fees in a probe finished at the end of 2020.
GVH said more than 100 small producers had become suppliers to Spar Magyarország in the framework of the program.
Still, it fined the company HUF 5 mln for failing to adequately certify the measures it took.
