1.5: Global Marketplace

Protect American consumers in the global marketplace by providing sound policy and technical input to foreign governments and international organizations to promote sound consumer policy.

Other Information:

The FTC increasingly works around the globe to address new and emerging consumer protection and privacy challenges and concerns. A myriad of issues – spam, phishing, spyware, telemarketing fraud, identity theft, data security, and privacy – cross national borders. The resulting challenges require the FTC to cooperate with counterparts in foreign agencies and international organizations. Performance Measures: - Policy advice provided to foreign consumer protection and privacy agencies, directly and through international organizations, through substantive consultations, written submissions, or comments - Technical assistance to foreign consumer protection and privacy authorities. These measures address the scope of our contact with international counterparts and help determine if our efforts are sufficiently broad-based.
