To enhance monitoring on the quality of goods on the market, and to safeguard citizens in both areas for their consumer rights and safety, Macao and Zhuhai Councils work together according to their protocol to conduct tests on consumer goods. The two Councils co-operated earlier to test 20 batches of tissue papers and 16 batches of food storage bags for their hygienic condition, ingredients, and quality. All samples passed the quoted national standard.

The two Councils held a press conference at Zhuhai on 13 September to announce the test and the relevant report, as well as released reminders to consumers on purchasing the said products.

President of Consumer Council’s Executive Committee, Wong Hong Neng, indicated that transregional co-operation fully utilizes the advantage of sharing resources, and Macao Consumer Council works together with different consumer organizations in the Mainland to enhance consumers’ confidence and safeguard consumer rights.

As 1 October is approaching, Consumer Council released a set of advices to tourists traveling to Macao on buying jewelries, watches, and electrical products, and introduced the Council’s ‘Certified Shop’ mechanism on the press conference held earlier. The Council also explained how tourists could seek for assistance when consumer dispute arises in Macao.
