It is a new sharp proposal to increase competition, says party leader Nooshi Dadgostar (V).

One should have the right to trade with any wholesaler one wants and choose the cheapest.

She claims that it is common today for wholesalers and retailers to be part of the same conglomerates and for retailers to be bound to buy from the "in-house wholesaler".

One does not have the right to buy from other wholesalers, says Dadgostar.

Food wholesalers are making a killing.

In addition to a prohibition on customer discrimination, V wants to give the Competition Authority sharp tools to act against existing deficiencies on a specific market, as well as establish an inspection authority to monitor the food market.
