For the past decade, four distinct entities have been working together as one authority – the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA). Over these years, these independent entities have coalesced into an authority that provides focused interventions through a shared vision with the consumer at its centre. I take this special occasion to recognise their invaluable work.
Intensified consumer focus
The Office for Consumer Affairs directs its efforts at the promotion of consumer interests. It is the first port of call on matters impacting individual consumers and dedicates a substantial part of its effort to raising knowledge and awareness of the vast body of law protecting consumers.
