20. RESTRICTIONS ON ADVERTISING
The Law on Protection of the Consumer of 1994 in Article 12
stipulates that consumers must be given accurate, timely, clear
and adequate information on the goods and services available in
the market. Similarly, Article 13 requires that suppliers of goods
shall provide to the consumer clear, accurate and at least sufficient
information on the characteristics of their products.
There is a law dating from 1980 titled ?Law to Regulate Information
on Economic Content? which so far has not been expressly repealed
and which has stipulated that the media may not transmit news or
information on matters relating to shortage of staple products,
that give rise to price speculation or in any way endanger or compromise
the nation?s national economic stability.
