International Harmonization of Consumer Protection Law

1.我们在国外确立了两个研究主题；首先，了解国际层面的消费者保护政策，如《1985年联合国消费者保护准则》，以及世界消费者法协调运动。其次，研究世界上一些地区或国家的消费者法法律状况。为了研究第一个主题，去年9月，我们在伦敦会见了一些在最大的非政府组织之一——国际消费者协会（CI）工作的律师，我们了解了在实施《准则》和国际消费者协会活动方面的各种贡献。此外，我们在日本京都立命馆大学与悉尼大学的David Harland教授就这一主题举行了会议。通过我们对检讨指引的讨论，我们建议环境问题和消费者保护等问题，在未来的指引中(1)在欧洲消费者问题和法律的法律研究方面，特别是在消费者保护和竞争法、保险法、金融服务和标准格式合同方面，我们从法国的Calais-Auloy教授、欧委会DG24委员会、瑞典国家消费者政策委员会、瑞典消费者监察专员等机构获得了许多有用的指导和资料。(2)在马来西亚和香港，我们于1996年1月听取了马来亚大学Sothi Rachagan教授、马来西亚商会槟城办事处、香港华人大学和香港消费者委员会关于消费者保护的法律情况。6.4根据我们在上述研究中收集的数据和资料，我们正在准备关于消费者保护法比较研究的文章。但除此之外，我们还需要考虑以下任务；研究北美地区包括加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰等地区的消费者保护法律状况。为了完成我们的任务，我们将能够见到并与加拿大约克大学的消费者法教授举行会议。总的来说，我们的研究结果将在随后由我们发表。少
