The fight against undeclared work and illegal employment is consistently continued in Schleswig-Holstein. In a current campaign of the customs in the Steinburg and Dithmarschen districts, improperly stored foods were also discovered, which underlines the importance of good food controls.
exams to uncover undeclared work
On Tuesday, the financial control of the customs work of customs carried out an extensive review in 25 different companies. These measures are part of a cross -sector examination that aims to ensure compliance with social security law and compliance with the minimum wage. In addition, illegal employment, bogus self -employment and the abusive connection of social benefits should be uncovered. Maurice Douce, press spokesman for the main customs office Itzehoe, reported that the officers asked a total of 46 employees, with 10 cases required for a further examination.
Food safety and legal requirements
A disturbing find during the controls was several kilos of fish and meat products that were not properly stored. This discovery raises questions about food safety, especially when you consider that some of the food found were not characterized in German. This violates the regulations for trade in food in Germany, which clearly determine that products must be properly marked in order to ensure traceability and transparency.
additional violations determined
In addition to the inadequate food supplies, the customs officials also discovered banned chewing tobacco - also known as "snus", which was ensured. Furthermore, around 250 deposit -free beverage cans were found, which were illegally intended for commercial sale. These discoveries illustrate the recurring problems caused by unregulated markets and endanger the integrity of trade.
The role of customs
Customs plays a crucial role in maintaining the functionality of social systems in Germany. By regularly checks in companies, the civil servants check whether legal requirements are observed. Such actions are necessary to promote fairness in the labor market and ensure that all companies adhere to the same rules.
FAZIT
The latest controls in Schleswig-Holstein illustrate how important it is to proceed against both undeclared work and violations in food law. The irregularities found are not only a sign of the challenges that exist in combating illegal practices, but also a call to constant vigilance on the part of the authorities and society. It remains to be hoped that such measures will help to create a fairer and safer working and food environment.
