The issue of consumer protection is one of the relatively recent and constantly
evolving subjects given the legislative developments related to this subject, given
that the risks incurred by the consumer are unstable because they are constantly
evolving, which is why the Legislators are paying great attention and in order to
keep pace with these developments, enact legislation that will embody effective
consumer protection.
The issue of consumer protection, due to its technical and protective nature,
calls for its effectiveness and the achievement of real consumer protection, which
the legislator seeks to achieve by linking consumer protection to several laws, in
particular the right competition and consumption.
Through the content of the study of the subject of consumer protection against
illegal commercial practices within the framework of competition and consumer
law, it appears that the Algerian legislator has tried to pay attention to the
protection of consumers against these practices by enacting a set of rules, texts
and mechanisms, whether in the field of competition law rules or in consumer
law rules which are effective guarantees to protect it, but the reality of Algerian
market is still chaotic, as the Algerian market is considered a magnet for
fraudulent goods, which leads to harm to consumer health and safety in the face
of increasing cases of fraud and deception in products and services .
Despite the legal arsenal with which the Algerian legalization abounds in the
field of consumer protection against illicit practices, it is not achievable in
practice, which calls for the need to strengthen the legal texts and toughen the
penalties for offenders and perpetrators of damage to the health and safety of
consumers.
