The CPC was originally created on 1 July 1994 as the Consumer Protection Commission. On 1 January 2012, it was restructured with the Executive Yuan to become the Consumer Protection Committee.[2][3]

Administration

The CPC composition is made up of one chairman and eleven to nineteen commissioners with terms of 3 years. These commissioners are nominated by the Executive Yuan and are appointed by the President. The Vice President of the Executive Yuan chairs the CPC, and the commissioners include eight senior officials of relevant government agencies, three representatives of national consumer protection groups, two presidents of nationwide enterprises, two scholars, and three experts. The commission meeting holds each month, but the Chairman has the right to convene unscheduled meetings when necessary.[4]
