About this page

This page presents the policy statement of Minister Inoue, Cabinet Office's Special Advisor on Consumer Affairs and Food Safety, to the House of Councillors Special Committee on Regional Revitalization and Consumer Issues during the 204th Diet session. The minister addresses evolving consumer protection challenges amid digital transformation and the COVID-19 pandemic. Two legislative bills are proposed: one protecting consumers using trading digital platforms by restricting dangerous products, and another strengthening measures against fraudulent periodic purchase schemes and prohibited deposit transactions. The statement also emphasizes strengthening local consumer administration, establishing monitoring networks for vulnerable consumers, enhancing consumer education ahead of lowering the age of adulthood, reducing food waste, promoting consumer-oriented management, and ensuring food safety through improved risk communication and transparent information disclosure.
