<p><span style="font-size: small;">SKOPJE, 26 June, 2015 – Today, the Centер for Civil Communications published the <strong>Index of Rationality No. 12</strong> developed for a new group of goods (traffic signs, fiscal cash registers and video surveillance cameras) and services (street marking and financial audit). The biggest difference in price was observed in procurement of financial audit services, while the smallest difference was noted in procurement of fiscal cash registers. In summary, the Index of Rationality provides the following conclusions:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>traffic signs </strong><strong>(</strong><strong>vertical      traffic signals</strong><strong>)</strong><strong> </strong>were purchases at prices ranging from 745 MKD to 3,882 MKD per 1 “STOP” sign, where the highest price is by 421%      higher than the lowest price; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>street marking (horizontal traffic signalization)</strong> was priced from 142 MKD to 354 MKD per m<sup>2</sup>, with the      highest price being by 149% higher      than the lowest price; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>mobile fiscal cash registers </strong>were purchased by institutions at prices      from 10,894 MKD to 16,772 MKD, which means that the highest price is by 54% higher than the      lowest price; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>video surveillance cameras </strong>were purchased at prices ranging from      1,682 MKD to 6,490 MKD, where the highest price for this procurement is      almost three times as higher (286%) compared to the lowest price; and </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>financial audit services </strong>were charged as share ranging from      0.026% to 0.717% of the financial turnover subject of audit, where the      highest service fee is 27 times higher than the lowest service      fee. </span></li>
