Italy/Albania: Officials from the Customs and Monopoly Agency (ADM) and the soldiers of the Guardia di Finanza, have identified cement lacking CE and proper importation markings, among other questionable building materials, in three articulated trucks that disembarked from Albania at the port of Ancona. A total of more than 36t of materials has been held.
The authorities stated that the use of trademarks of Italian companies on imported products or goods without clearly indicating the country or place of manufacture and, more generally, incorrect information on the origin of the goods, damages both the market and consumers’ interests.
