ARTICLE 16:
A commercial advertisement may be considered to be false if the advertisement exaggerates
the quality or value of a product or service and leads to consumer confusion.

advertisements does not have legal responsibility unless the press organ continues to publish
such advertisements after having received a written warning from the court or competent
ministry to cease such advertisements.
In contrast, the advertiser is responsible before the law and the court if there is a complaint by
an individual or consumers association whose interests have been harmed by the
advertisement.
