B.2. Consumer Protection
42. The building of an integrated economic region with a people-centred approach in this region has made
ASEAN mindful that consumers cannot be precluded in all measures taken to achieve this integration.
Consumer protection measures are already being developed in tandem with the proposed economic
measures to address the already emerging consumer protection.
Actions:
i. Strengthen consumer protection in ASEAN through the establishment of the ASEAN Coordinating
Committee on Consumer Protection (ACCCP);
ii. Establish a network of consumer protection agencies to facilitate information sharing and exchange;
and
iii. Organise regional training courses for consumer protection officials and consumer leaders in
preparation for an integrated ASEAN market.
