SinceOrder no. 2015-1033 of 20 August 2015 concerning alternative consumer dispute resolution, completed by Decree no. 2015-1382 of 30 October 2015 on mediation consumer disputes, “every consumer has the right to refer his/her case to a mediator specialised in consumer disputes for free to help solve a conflict with traders. The professional guarantees the consumer an effective access to a consumer mediation device”. These texts have been codified in Articles L611-1 to L616-3 and R612-1 to R616-2 of the French Consumer Code.
In view of this new regulation which transposes European Directive no.2013/11/UE of 21 May 2013 concerning extrajudicial consumer conflicts, the CMAP provides consumer mediation services to all companies seeking to sustain their relationships with their consumers.
The CMAP is competent to settle consumer disputes in the business areas of the companies that have entrusted their disputes to it.
You are a company, and you wish to designate the CMAP as a consumer mediator: contact us.
