From 1994 the Republic of Belarus introduced the Law On Protection of Consumer Rights which defines legal, economic and social grounds for protection of consumer rights. The Law covers the relations between consumers and enterprises, organisations and institutions of all forms of property as well with entrepreneurs.
Consumers have the right to protection by the State of their interests, due quality and safety of commodities and indemnification of damage caused by sub-quality commodities, to authentic information on commodities as well as to organisation of public associations of consumers. For protection of their rights consumers have the right to appeal to courts without paying the state duty.
