MMCCA orders Melita to regulate itself over ‘deceitful’ advert

The Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Association ordered Melita to regulate itself over a sports advert it considers as fallacious.

Melita plc has been ordered to amend the adverts in all its advertising spaces by increasing the font size of the last two sentences which stipulate the price for the new services, the date of expiry and the terms and conditions.

It also requested the company to include in the advert that the consumer must enter into a new agreement with Melita and renew the contract of service for a minimum of two years (24 months).

“If Melita plc fails to comply, MCCAA reserves the right to take further actions,” MCCAA said in a statement.
