The Consumer Protection Committee (CPC; Chinese: 行政院消費者保護會; pinyin: Xíngzhèngyuàn Xiāofèizhě Bǎohùhuì) is an independent regulatory agency subordinate to the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China which is responsible for policies and measures to protect consumers from fraud, Internet scams, misleading advertisements, content labeling, food safety, product safety, dispute resolution with traders, consumer complaints, licensing and regulation of some business activities and informing consumers about their rights in Taiwan.[1]
History
The CPC was created on July 1, 1994 to administer consumer protection responsibilities.[2]
Administration
The CPC composition is made up of one chairman and eleven to nineteen commissioners with terms of 3 years. These commissioners are nominated by the Executive Yuan and are appointed by the President. The Vice President of the Executive Yuan chairs the CPC, and the commissioners include eight senior officials of relevant government agencies, three representatives of national consumer protection groups, two presidents of nationwide enterprises, two scholars, and three experts. The commission meeting holds each month, but the Chairman has the right to convene unscheduled meetings when necessary.[3]
