Industry & Commerce Regulations
For many years, the government has developed specific regulations designed to protect consumers in the selling of certain products and services: for example, textile labelling, drug approvals, quality of food products, advertising restrictions, etc. All suppliers and retailers, as well as advertisers and the media, must be aware
of these regulations and keep abreast of new developments.
Today, the gradual liberalisation of many regulated industries (particularly the media, telecoms, electricity and gas, and public transport) has led to new forms of regulation and control. In this environment, highly specialised advice is crucial for operators as well as for their partners, suppliers and clients.
