I have been advised by the National Consumer Agency that since its establishment on a statutory basis in May 2007, it received 25 sterling price related complaints/queries on goods sold in the State and 12 of these involved currency differential issues in 2007. For the year to date, the Agency has received 8 sterling price related complaints/queries on goods sold in the State and 3 of these involved currency differential issues.
