The European Parliament just lent strong support to the ‘Farm to Fork Strategy’, setting the EU on the path towards a more sustainable food system. The European Consumer organisation (BEUC) applauds MEPs for adopting an ambitious position and resisting pressure to water down their stance.

Today MEPs from the Industry Committee of the EU Parliament have voted through a position on an extension of the EU’s roaming rules which would greatly benefit consumers.

European consumers could benefit from a package of measures to help shield them from the storm of rising energy prices proposed today by the European Commission. Now it’s up to EU countries to implement them as quickly as possible.

Following a complaint that BEUC and 11 of its members1 filed in July 2020 about systematic breaches of air passenger rights in the first half of 2020, and investigations by the European Commission and the Network of Consumer Protection Cooperation authorities (CPC), today 16 major EU-based airlines2 committed to improving their cancellation policies and how they treat passengers in such events.
