Von der Leyen Commission Mid-term review - Consumer track record

Halfway through the von der Leyen Commission’s five-year term, we examine whether actions to date have been up to expectations from the consumer perspective. Our overall assessment is that this Commission’s performance is good so far, with many positive actions and only a few issues requiring urgent fixing.

The period has obviously been marked by unprecedented events in Europe. First, a pandemic, then spiralling energy prices, and now a war at our borders. For this reason, we have dedicated a section on how the Commission has reacted to the unforeseen.

This is no time for the Commission to rest on its laurels. In the second half of its mandate, the Commission will still need to be the busy beehive it has been so far, and it is crucial that its ambitions remain high. That is why we have also put forward proposals that we hope the Commission will focus on during the remainder of its term.
