According to the first inspection, retailers are having trouble displaying the prices in euros correctly.\n\nOn Sunday, August 24, inspectors in Bratislava monitored 26 retail sites. Mistakes were identified in 11 of them. Fines were not applied, but will be if the mistakes identified are not fixed.\n\nOf the businesses monitored, eight had not displayed the conversion rate of 30.1260 crowns per euro correctly. Some retail outlets had dropped the final zero. This does not cause losses to customers, but the law states that the conversion rate must be displayed in full, must not be shortened or rounded, and must be placed in a visible place, for instance on the counter, on stands for goods, on the door or on a visible wall.\n\nThe inspection has revealed mistakes with the price conversions from crowns to euros, or in the rounding of the prices of goods on labels or pricelists.\n\nMistakes were also found in the dual display of prices per unit. These should not be rounded to two digits; instead they are &#8222;cut&#8220; to three digits after conversion.\n\n(Source: SME; August 26, 2008)\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1216\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ulclegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ulc-inarticle-1414-dual-display-of-prices-causes-problems.avif\" alt=\"Kunde mit zwei Preisschildern f\u00fcr dasselbe Produkt an der Kasse, Verk\u00e4ufer korrigiert Zahlen auf einer wei\u00dfen Tafel.\" class=\"wp-image-23771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ulclegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ulc-inarticle-1414-dual-display-of-prices-causes-problems.avif 1216w, https:\/\/www.ulclegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ulc-inarticle-1414-dual-display-of-prices-causes-problems-300x166.avif 300w, https:\/\/www.ulclegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ulc-inarticle-1414-dual-display-of-prices-causes-problems-1024x566.avif 1024w, https:\/\/www.ulclegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ulc-inarticle-1414-dual-display-of-prices-causes-problems-768x424.avif 768w, https:\/\/www.ulclegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ulc-inarticle-1414-dual-display-of-prices-causes-problems-480x265.avif 480w, https:\/\/www.ulclegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ulc-inarticle-1414-dual-display-of-prices-causes-problems-992x548.avif 992w, https:\/\/www.ulclegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ulc-inarticle-1414-dual-display-of-prices-causes-problems-1200x663.avif 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1216px) 100vw, 1216px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first inspection of dual display of prices has revealed mistakes displaying the conversion rate or in calculation of prices in euros. &nbsp; Retailers must now display their prices in both crowns and euros.
