Abstract

The issue of consumer protection is one of the relatively recent and constantly evolving subjects given the legislative developments related to this subject, given that the risks incurred by the consumer are unstable because they are constantly evolving, which is why the Legislators are paying great attention and in order to keep pace with these developments, enact legislation that will embody effective consumer protection. The issue of consumer protection, due to its technical and protective nature, calls for its effectiveness and the achievement of real consumer protection, which the legislator seeks to achieve by linking consumer protection to several laws, in particular the right competition and consumption. Through the content of the study of the subject of consumer protection against illegal commercial practices within the framework of competition and consumer law, it appears that the Algerian legislator has tried to pay attention to the protection of consumers against these practices by enacting a set of rules, texts and mechanisms, whether in the field of competition law rules or in consumer law rules which are effective guarantees to protect it, but the reality of Algerian market is still chaotic, as the Algerian market is considered a magnet for fraudulent goods, which leads to harm to consumer health and safety in the face of increasing cases of fraud and deception in products and services . Despite the legal arsenal with which the Algerian legalization abounds in the field of consumer protection against illicit practices, it is not achievable in practice, which calls for the need to strengthen the legal texts and toughen the penalties for offenders and perpetrators of damage to the health and safety of consumers.
