Consumers do not always know their rights. And if they know
their rights at home, they do not always know the rights they have in the other
countries of the European Union.
Consumers in the countries that joined the European Union in
May 2004 have the highest need to get to know their rights, and how to claim
them. Therefore the European Commission is conducting information campaigns in
these countries as a matter of priority.
These campaigns also promote national consumer associations.
Because it is often difficult for an individual consumer to get his rights
respected. In joining forces consumers stand stronger, and problems can get
solved collectively and more effectively.
