Under the Act of 15 December 2000 on Competition and
Consumer Protection (Official Gazette 2003 No. 86, p. 804
with subsequent changes),
the Regional and Municipal
Consumer Ombudsmen represent the local authorities in the
field of consumer protection.

The main responsibilities of the Consumer Ombudsman are:

1) to ensure free consumer advice and legal information in

the field of consumer protection;

2) to propose new regulations and changes to regulations in

local legislation in the field of consumer protection;

3) to take action against businesses in cases concerning the

protection of consumer rights and interests;

4) to cooperate with the appropriate local branch of the
Office for Consumer Protection, the Trade Inspectorate
and consumer organisations;

5) to undertake other tasks as described in the Act or in

specific regulations.

The Consumer Ombudsman can, in particular, institute legal
proceedings on behalf of consumers and, with their agree-
ment, intervene in consumer protection proceedings already
in progress.

Under Article 39 of the Act of 15 December 2000 on
Competition and Consumer Protection (Official Gazette
2003 No. 86, p. 804 with subsequent changes), consumer
organisations are empowered to represent consumer inter-
ests in cases against administrative bodies and local authori-
ties and can participate in the creation of national consumer
policy.

The organisations mentioned in section 1 have the right to:

1) express their opinion on draft legislation and other docu-

ments concerning consumer rights and interests;

2) develop and promote consumer education programmes;

3) carry out tests of products and services and publish the

results of such tests;

4) publish magazines, research projects, brochures and leaf-

lets;

5) run a free consumer advice service and provide free help
to consumers in settling their claims, unless the organisa-
tion's rules of operation require a fee to be charged for
such services;

6) participate in standardisation work;

7) complete assignments on a national level in the field of
consumer protection, as commissioned by national and
local government bodies;

8) apply for subsidies from public funds to undertake the

assignments specified in point 7 above.
