Description:Consumers Lebanon defends consumer rights in Lebanon since 2000. Thanks to its action, a modern and efficient consumer protection legislation was ratified. Consumers Lebanon is an experienced and successful campaigning organisation: it has campaigned on a wide range of issues including food security, pollution, VAT, pesticides, drinkable water, Lebanon’s admission to the WTO and the establishment of a quarterly consumer price index. It also publishes a regular newsletter and runs a hotline where consumers can phone to report a complaint. Consumers Lebanon sits on a number of national committees and has become influential in terms of shaping public opinion. Its presence in the media is almost daily.
