Consumer protection enforcement regulators and other invited guests are meeting in Warsaw, Poland for the International Consumer Protection Enforcement Network (ICPEN) conference.

The three-day conference is hosted by the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKIK), under the theme “Empowering Responsible Consumer Choices.” Attendance to the conference is both in-person and virtual. The objective is to empower responsible consumer choices and strengthen global cooperation among institutions protecting their rights.

The mandate of ICPEN is to share information about cross-border commercial activities that may affect consumer interests and to encourage international cooperation and collaboration among consumer law enforcement agencies.

Botswana, through the Competition and Consumer Authority, is a member of ICPEN.
