The purpose is to involve the private and public sectors of the APEC economies in a discussion on a range of consumer protection issues related to e-commerce.  In September of 1999 the APEC Ministers "instructed officials to initiate work on consumer protection, focusing on information sharing, benchmarking and best practices."
