The European Parliament’s lead, Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) committee has reinforced proposed legislation (the Digital Markets Act) that would prevent tech giants from engaging in unfair behaviour in digital markets and so benefit consumers.

The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) welcomes the European Commission’s new strategy “A competition policy fit for new challenges”, which outlines the review of EU competition policy tools for the twin digital and green transitions.

The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) welcomes the EU General Court’s November 10 ruling in the Google Shopping case. The General Court upheld the European Commission’s 2017 decision, that Google broke EU antitrust rules by abusing its market dominance as a search engine by unfairly promoting its own comparison shopping service.

A carbon-cutting climate policy can bring environmental, economic, and social value to the daily lives of consumers. In a new paper, the European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) provides a path forward for EU governments to translate global commitments on CO2 emissions into policies that make the sustainable choice the easy and affordable choice.
