The head of Arraqeeb Libyan Consumer Protection Organization, Wael Al-Sghayer, told our source: “Libya is not linked internationally to the international summons for poisoning occurring around the world, and it does not have any international links with regard to consumer protection, as it is completely isolated from the problems of consumer protection in Libya.”
He added: “The Consumer Protection Offices at the Ministry of Economy are powerless and unable to work in light of the presence of poisoning problems around the world, and they are not doing their minimum work in terms of consumer protection. All that we see today inside the Libyan state is tampering with the fate of the Libyan citizens. The evidence of this is the existence of Libya as a dump of most of the banned substances in the world and is not under control.”
He continued: “The problem did not stop at a single type of chocolate, which may be part of or a certain number that requires the international recall. But this recall of food in the world is for countries that have food safety systems to apply ISO 22000 systems for food safety and risk analysis.”
He concluded, explaining: “Libya is outside this international chain of food risk analysis and remains in the late classifications in administrative corruption, including the entry of foodstuffs that may be internationally prohibited.”
