No collusion on food prices is detected
Traders have not illegally negotiated high prices for milk, cheese and cream.
This is what the Competition Council concluded after extensive evaluation.
The council says shops are looking at each other’s prices, but their changes are not coordinated, simultaneous and similar.
One suggestion to help consumers find the best price would be to create a price comparison tool that would allow stores to see the best price for a given period of time.
However, there is no clear answer as to which public authority would be responsible for creating such a tool.

The media denies the accusations and claims that they did not know about the upcoming attack in advance.

For the second time, the Rēzekne council meeting is not held
For the second time, the meeting of the Rēzekne council did not take place, because only four of the 13 deputies came to it on Friday, November 10.
In this way, the ruling party “Together with Latvijai”, whose mayor Aleksandar Bartasevic was suspended for bringing the city to the brink of bankruptcy, is trying to get the entire city council released.
Minister of Local Government Affairs Inga Bērziņa (“New Unity”) was also in Rēzekne on Friday.
She told Latvian Radio that the Saeima has the right to dismiss the council, but it is not an obligation.
