Today, the European Parliament approved an ‘own-initiative report’ on safer toys. This report sets out Parliament’s expectations for a revision of toy safety law later this year.

The European Commission today unveiled new plans for more efficient and sustainable travel, part of a larger EU strategy on ‘sustainable and smart mobility’. For the European Consumer Organisation (BEUC), this is a good step towards cleaning up transport.

Following a complaint that BEUC and 11 of its members1 filed in July 2020 about systematic breaches of air passenger rights in the first half of 2020, and investigations by the European Commission and the Network of Consumer Protection Cooperation authorities (CPC), today 16 major EU-based airlines2 committed to improving their cancellation policies and how they treat passengers in such events.

According to a statement today from the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network (CPC) authorities, Volkswagen has been asked to offer “appropriate solutions” to consumers who are currently in court against the car manufacturer and to end legal proceedings.
