地方性法规加强消费者权益保护问题——以《天津市消费者权益保护条例》为例

Thinking on Strengthening the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests by Local Laws and Regulations——From the Prospective of Tianjin Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Regulation

在地方性法规的制定过程中,要注意与已有规定的衔接问题。尽管关于同一问题,不同规定之间存在不一致或冲突时,可适用《立法法》的法律适用规则,但这实际上并未解决具体规定的合理性问题。《天津市消费者保护条例》作为《消费者权益保护法》的下位法,应定位为对上位法的细化和补充,而非对上位法的修改和定义,其对理论和实践中有争议的问题予以明确时,应遵循上位法立法意旨,而非简单的照抄照搬上位法的规定,同时亦不能随意扩张。

In the local rules and regulations formulation process, we should pay attention to the problem of convergence with the existing regulations. When there is a conflict or inconsistency between different laws or regulations on the same problem, we can apply to the rules of the Legislative Law of PRC, but it actually does not solve the problem of the rationality of the specific provisions. Regulation on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests in Tianjin, as Lower-level Law of Consumer Protection Law, should be positioned to re- fine and complement the higher law rather than modify or define host law. We should follow legislative inten- tion of the Consumer Protection Law rather than simply copy the provisions of host law or expand it casually.
