Consumer strategy

A vision for Europe’s consumer policy

An anniversary is an appropriate occasion to look back at past successes. But more importantly we are using our anniversary to look forward and examine the state of consumer policy in Europe and put our finger on the remaining and new challenges. Building upon the grassroots experience of our national members and their daily contact with consumers across the Europe Union, we have put in focus our vision for an EU Consumer Strategy 2020.

A soundly structured consumer policy is an essential catalyst for growth, facilitator of smoothly functioning markets and - above all - guarantor of welfare.

We ask Europe’s policymakers to take our recommendations onboard when addressing the challenges we have identified therein.

Our members’ experiences have been instrumental in developing this Vision. It has benefitted further by our close cooperation with high-level policymakers, academics, business stakeholders and public interest NGOs who have contributed via a specially established Consumer Strategy Panel.
