CONSUMER POLICY

New app helps consumers find their way while on holidays

12/08/2014

The European Commission is always seeking ways to make the lives of consumers easier and to help them reap the benefits of the single market. In 2014, EU-funded European Consumer Centres launched an application aimed to help EU citizens while travelling across Europe. ECC-Net: Travel is a multilingual application whose goal is to provide support to people when faced with tough situations in a foreign European country.

The app provides handy phrases in 25 European languages which people can use to cope with situations in nine areas - retail purchases; car rental; travel by air, train, bus, ship/ ferry, hotel accommodation; health; and general information.

It is downloadable for free from the following links:
