We will show no tolerance, we continue and intensify, with strict controls, the punishment of obscenity throughout the market.

In any case, we are not complacent, we are strengthening the control mechanisms and we are resolutely promoting their work until all distortions in the field of trade are corrected and legality and healthy competition prevail in the market, for the benefit of all consumers”.
