kuluttajaviranomaisille

Kuluttajaviranomaisille is a Finnish phrase meaning “to the consumer authorities.” It is used in official texts to indicate the intended recipients of information, complaints, or inquiries related to consumer protection. Grammatically, it is the allative form (ending -ille) of the plural noun kuluttajaviranomaiset, and it signals direction toward the authorities.

The phrase appears in administrative language such as letters, forms, notices, and procedural instructions. It functions as a recipient label, telling the reader or sender where a document or report should be directed. For example, an instruction might read: “Ilmoitus on toimitettava kuluttajaviranomaisille,” or “Lähetä hakemus kuluttajaviranomaisille.”

In Finland, consumer protection is handled by several bodies, with theKilpailu- ja kuluttajavirasto (KKV, the Competition and Consumer Authority) playing a central role at the national level. Depending on the matter, communications may be addressed to the national authority or to other relevant bodies (such as sector regulators or the Kuluttajariitalautakunta, the Consumer Disputes Board). The exact recipient is determined by the subject of the issue and applicable legislation.

Overall, kuluttajaviranomaisille is not a name of a single institution but a directional label used in Finnish public administration to specify that a matter should be considered by the consumer protection authorities. It reflects the structured, bureaucratic language used in handling consumer rights and regulatory procedures in Finland.
