European Commission 4d ago

When it comes to consumer protection, no region in the world does it better than Europe. 🇪🇺

On #WorldConsumerRightsDay, it’s worth remembering: more than 50 years of advocacy don’t just sit in policy papers — they show up in your daily life: in fair transactions, safe products, and transparent contracts.

Let’s keep working to make it even stronger!
