France will implement a new law protecting consumers' rights and interests starting on the 11th, prohibiting “unauthorized telemarketing”. Violators may face tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of euros in fines. The Associated Press reported on the 6th that according to estimates from French government departments, about three-quarters of people in France receive at least one marketing call every week. According to France's previous regulations, if consumers want to avoid such calls, they must register their phone number with a specific government service agency. However, consumer rights groups say that some customer call centers have turned a blind eye to such registration lists and made phone calls correctly.
