Commission's public consultation on the New Consumer Agenda

European Commission published a survey, answers to which will inform the future policymaking in the area of consumer protection. The first part of the questionnaire asks more general questions about the New Consumer Agenda (what should be prioritised), whilst the following three parts are devoted to various specific issues: sustainability/green consumption, review of consumer credit instruments, review of product safety framework. The survey is open until 6 October and all stakeholders, including (vulnerable) consumers, are invited to participate and express their opinion. Not all questions require an answer to submit the survey and it can be filled in stages, as it facilitates saving a draft of the answers. The link may be found here. Speak up!
