Over 17 thousand installations (on a total of 24 thousand) are now registered to the OsservaPrezzi, according to data provided by the Ministry. Consumers are kindly invited to report anomalies if they find differences between advertised prices and those actually applied, and to do that they may apply to the competent authorities (theoretically the Mayor of the municipality where the violation occurs, or the local Police Department). Administrative penalties for "crafty" gas stations will be among 516 to 3,098 €.
The Undersecretary to the Economic development SimonaVicari stated that "This is an important initiative, not only because it is the first app the Ministry ever did, but mostly because we provide consumers with a useful tool with which they can easily access to various lists and choose the more convenient distributor ". She added that "this app is addressednot only to consumers, but also to companies and distributors. Not only we make prices and servicesmore transparent, but at the same time we put the various businesses in direct competition with each other, encouraging them to offer their products at lower prices. The next step - she concluded - is the renewal of the site of the Observatory prices, with new ways to search data, for a more transparent and consumer-friendly public administration".
