Macau, Hengqin cooperate in promoting consumer rights

The consumer rights agencies of Macau and Hengqin will collaborate in a series of events aiming to promote consumer rights, the Macau Consumer Council has announced.

In order to make further progress in consumer rights protection, consumption environment integration and consumer rights unification between Macau and the Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone, the agencies from the two jurisdictions will host a series of events from March 15.

March 15 marks the International Day for Protecting Consumers’ Rights.

The series of events will include an outdoor promotional activity held in the zone and a Q&A contest with prizes, which will be held online. The local agency said that by participating in the contest, consumers will gain a deep understanding of laws in the two jurisdictions with regards to protecting consumer rights.

The Q&A contest will be held between March 14 and 16. Questions will cover the differences and similarities between consumer rights laws in Macau and Hengqin. A support section will be established to assist participants in answering the questions.

Registration can be conducted by following the WeChat account of the Hengqin Consumers’ Association. Those who answer 10 questions correctly will have the chance to win prizes.

The Macau agency is confident that the series of events will help promote cross-boundary consumer rights. AL
