Summary/Abstract: The paper considers the problems of the right of consumers to information. The purpose of the research is to develop a complex scientific idea for implementation of the right to information as the actual legal transition to the system of consumer relations. The following problems are solved during this research: to identify gaps in the legal regulation of obligations imposed on entrepreneurs; to provide analytical data of the controlling and judicial authorities, which confirm the increased threat of violation of the rights of consumers to information; to present a scheme of the civil legal mechanism for implementation of the right of consumers to information; to analyze the formation and expression of intentions as stages of the mechanism for implementation of the right of consumers to information. The research is carried out with the help of dialectic, systemic, and structural methods. The conclusion is made that gaps in the legal regulation of obligations imposed on entrepreneurs are associated with the lack of standards for disclosure of information in the sphere of consumption of goods, works, and services. The obtained analytical data of the controlling and judicial authorities confirm the increased threat of violation of the rights of consumers to information. The scheme of the civil mechanism for implementation of the right of consumers to information helps to understand the essence of obstacles for transition of consumers to the system of the consumer relations which are formed in practice. The formation and expression of intentions serve as stages of the mechanism for implementation of the right of consumers to information, which are structurally involved in the general civil legal mechanism of implementation of the rights of consumers, since implementation of the information opportunities enables free, if not particularly competent, choice of goods with the high probability of consumption of goods, works, and services complying with the safety and quality standards. The existing obstacles in implementation of opportunities that are pledged in the subjective right to information do not promote actual implementation of the system of other subjective rights of consumers. The author is convinced that enhancement of the existing Russian consumer protection law for the purpose of ensuring secured implementation of the right of consumers to information on the basis of accomplishment of precautionary and preventive functions by the standard massif is necessary.
