La noción de consumidor en el Mercosur

Abstract

This article aims to compare the legal qualification of consumers, present in the national Law of the Mercosur countries, to establish common ground and potential differences building that notion. It also clarifies the legal definition of "consumer", used in many debates and negotiations in the Mercosur’s context and considered as a conventional source of Mercosur economic block’s Law. Finally, conclusions are drawn based on the possibility of harmonization of concepts presented by many States, to offer the adequate legal protection for cross-border consumers.
