In a press release, the Government has pointed out that the creation of this Council begins along with the Cantabrian Consumer Council, already initiated and processed in the publication phase to comply with the constitutional mandate that obliges public authorities to guarantee the defense of consumers and users, protecting their safety, health, and legitimate economic interests through effective procedures.
In this sense, the Cantabrian Law on Consumer and User Defense establishes the Cantabrian Consumer Council as the main consultation and participation body in consumer matters in the autonomous community, assigning it to the competent general direction in consumer and user defense matters.
On the other hand, the Cantabrian Commerce Council aims to study and analyze the behavior and needs of the commercial sector in order to design and develop a rational planning that allows for the reactivation, boost, and revitalization of the commercial economic activity in the region.
The Minister of Commerce, Eduardo Arasti, has emphasized that the Government is thus fulfilling «an outstanding debt» with consumers and merchants in Cantabria by having «the necessary bodies for participation and consultation that will promote, along with the administrations, policies in promoting commerce and defending consumers and users.»
