Tissue and toilet paper are essential to consumers' daily lives but their prices tend to fluctuate during the past few months. Consumer Council therefore conducted a specific price survey on tissue and toilet paper, surveying 11 samples in 25 different local retail spots. According to its 'Supermarket Price Survey Report', Consumer Council stated that prices of tissue and toilet paper fluctuated in the past few months. As this category of household product is essential to consumers, the Council conducted a new specific price survey on tissue and toilet paper to gather price information on the market for consumers' reference. In the current price survey report, significant price differences were observed in both 'C & S (Toilet Paper, Orange), 10 pcs' and 'Aus & New Golden Soft Tissue, 10 pcs', where price difference between the highest and lowest price amounted to over 40%; prices of other surveyed samples varied from 10 to 20%. The specific price survey report on tissue and toilet paper is now available online on the Council's official website (http://www.consumer.gov.mo). Further, Consumer Council, in collaboration with Land, Public Works and Transport Bureau (DSSOPT), published a brochure of 'Definition and Concept of Saleable Area and Saleable Ratio'. The brochure covers definition of unit gross floor area, saleable area and saleable ratio. It is now available on the Council's official website and at its two offices, Public Information Center located at Vicky Plaza (Rua do Campo), office of General Union of Neighbors Association of Macau and Macao Federation of Trade Unions.
