The Consumer Protection Service clarifies that the Price Observatories are prepared exclusively for consumer information purposes and in no way constitute advice. The Price Observatory is not intended to and cannot replace the market research that each consumer must carry out on the basis of his or her own preferences, data and needs, nor is it intended to indicate to consumers the points of sale to choose or specific products.
In particular, it should be noted that some of the products included in the Price Observatory have qualitative differences which cannot be determined. To this end, the Service encourages consumers to carry out meaningful market research before making purchases, taking into account the results of this Observatory.
Detailed information on the Observatory is available at website of the Consumer Protection Agency.
