European Commissions Website By Caitlin Hughes
About the Website The section of the website I have been looking at is the consumer affairs. This part of the website basically is telling consumers how they have the right in all EU countries to be able to be confident in making purchases and not be unsure about it. It says consumers should be as confident making purchases as they are at home. The other parts of the website are explaining the rights we have in the EU.
Why you Should Visit the Site? • The website gives you information on the rights you have in the EU. • It makes consumers feel more confident about buying in the EU. • It helps people understand the rights they have so people will not be cheated out of their rights.
A Message From the Commissioner “There are now more than 490 million consumers in Europe and their expenditure represents over half of the EU’s gross domestic product (GDP). Consumers are essential to economic growth and job creation. Yet there is an EU-wide lack of consumer confidence when it comes to cross-border shopping. I believe that consumers should be as confident about making purchases in other countries as they are at home.”
