CONSUMER POLICY

European Commission secures 10 better deals for consumers

19/08/2014

The European Commission is constantly working to improve the lives of its over 500 million consumers. Thanks to its efforts, online disputes will be resolved more easily from January 2016 on, students can learn their rights already at school via the interactive ConsumerClassroom.eu platform, reduced roaming charges allow people to surf the internet while abroad at reduced rates, every European is entitled to a bank account.

Together with Member States, the European Commission is working to make sure online retailers respect consumer rights and unsafe products do not reach people's homes but are safely withdrawn from the markets. In case people face problems with their cross-border purchases, they have who to turn to - the European Consumer Centres, funded by the European Commission.
