The Hon. Upali Samarasingha
Upali Samarasingha stated that the main issue is the lack of a clear national policy and system governing prices and standards. He said discussions are under way with relevant regulatory bodies to create mechanisms ensuring fair pricing and quality for domestic products and fair market prices for imports, and that this work has already begun.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, as I said, the fundamental issue is the absence of a clear policy and system nationwide. Some products are sold cheaper than others; sometimes lower prices reflect poor standards. We are discussing with all relevant regulatory bodies to establish a system to ensure fair pricing and quality for domestically produced goods, and to maintain fair market prices for imported goods. Work has commenced in this regard.
