CONSUMER POLICY

On 2 April 2014 the Commission organised the Seminar on better deals for energy consumers in order to identify best practices and lessons learned from supplier switching and energy saving campaigns.

The Seminar was held under the auspices of the Greek Presidency and invited speakers included representatives from several consumer organisations, national energy regulatory authorities, the European Executive Agency from Small and Medium-sized Enterprises as well as the representatives from the civil society.

The objective of the Seminar was to discuss how to facilitate better deals for energy consumers and to identify potential actions towards empowering consumers. It resulted in identifying several lessons learned and best practices which will be further analysed and taken forward by Commissioner Mimica.
