Parliamentary Commission Continues Review of Bill to Regulate Online Marketing and Promotion
The parliamentary commission responsible for organizing administration, development, digitization, governance, and anti-corruption efforts continued its review on Monday of a proposed law aimed at regulating marketing and promotional activities on electronic sites and social media.
Review of Stakeholder Observations
The commission's work focused on observations made during hearings with various stakeholders, including:
- The Ministries of Commerce and Export Development, Communication Technologies, and Finance
- The Central Bank
- The Consumer Protection Organization
- The Banking and Financial Council
- The National Syndical Chamber of E-commerce and Distance Selling
Examination of Proposed Law
Commission members examined both general remarks related to the e-commerce sector and those specific to the content and articles of the proposed text. Discussions highlighted the need to consider these contributions when debating the legislative initiative article by article.
Other Commission Business
In parallel, the commission addressed several files within its legislative and oversight prerogatives, including:
- Monitoring digital transformation and interoperability projects for administrative systems, given their direct impact on services provided to citizens
- Developing a methodology for examining proposed laws related to the creation of municipalities, with plans for new hearings with concerned parties
Future Work Program
A work program will be established later to organize field visits to institutions within the commission's scope, according to the same source.
