27/10/2014 - With consumer spending contributing to over a half of Europe's GDP, consumer policy is a European Union priority. Over the past years, the EU has made explicit efforts to create a sound regulatory framework, to guarantee implementation and enforcement and to ensure consumers are both well aware of their rights and use them in practice. The Legacy Document Consumer Policy 2010-2014 looks back at the main achievements of European Commissions consumer policy over the past five years. It shows how the decisions taken in Brussels contribute to a positive change in the lives of EU’s 500 million citizens and gradually shape a true Single Market for consumers.
