Tuesday June 17^th, 6:00 PM, Brussels

Until yesterday May 25^th, Europeans have chosen their European Parliament representatives. These elections will shape considerably the everyday lives of EU citizens for the 5 years to come, ranging from the safety of the food on our plates to how we manage our money.

We have created a dedicated European elections section on our website and drafted a manifesto detailing consumer demands to the upcoming MEPs who will decide on many of our everyday life issues.

Freshly after the elections, with the participation of MEPs from across the political spectrum, BEUC will hold a conference to assess the impact of the elections’ outcome on consumers.
