According to Deputy Director Hoang Ninh, this is a significant number, highlighting the increasingly complex nature of violations in the e-commerce sector, while also demonstrating the authorities' growing efforts to tighten oversight.
The agency is currently finalising a draft amendment to the E-Commerce Law. As of June 18, major policy directions in the draft were approved by the Government’s Standing Committee. The revised law is expected to include numerous provisions to better protect consumers, Ninh noted.
