NormanH Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 A bill being presented today in the Assemblée has many important improvements in consumer rightshttp://www.midilibre.fr/2011/10/10/vers-de-nouveaux-droits-pour-les-consommateurs,400358.phpRemains to see if it passes, or is applied, but there are many possible advantages.The article is too dense to summarise, but the areas concerned are Telephones and Internet (stop some of the abuses in mobile tariffs and SMS, and a low Internet subscription for the worst off) More protection for tenants, in terms of deposits end documents requiredChecks on energy bills, and no charge if you read the metre yourselfChanges to rules about buying contact lenses and glasses and reduce the period you have to wait to cancel a health insuranceIncrease the time you have to change your mind about electrical goods bought on-line to 14 daysOblige restaurants to indicate if they have prepared the dishes themselves, and make supermarkets reveal their marginsThere is also a ban on ticket touting..These are only a few of the points. I havent had time to translate all of it, and this has been done quickly and very freely just to give a flavour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
