Press releases

The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) regrets the announcements made by the US Administration on February 21 to investigate and threaten trade retaliation for European legislation that safeguards European consumers and ensures the openness and contestability of its digital markets.

The European Commission published its roadmap for the agriculture and food sector until 2040 today, laying the ground for future initiatives in the next five years. The Vision follows the Strategic Dialogue, gathering key players across the food supply chain, which had delivered promising results for consumers, including a shared commitment to boost access to healthy and sustainable food. Regrettably, the Vision disappoints on the demand side.

BEUC calls on the Commission to ensure consumers are well protected and laments the removal of key legislation on AI liability, e-privacy and rail passenger rights.

The EU Commission has published today its e-commerce Communication to tackle the many problems consumers face when shopping online. BEUC, the European Consumer Organisation, welcomes the plan and calls for swift action to enforce rigorously existing laws around chemicals, online platforms and product safety and to wrap up important legislation.
