MEPs out to support collective redress!

BEUC NEWS - 17.09.2018

Scandals like dieselgate have shown just how vulnerable consumers are when they suffer damages and the company refuses to pay compensation. That’s why it’s important that consumers can go to court together to file a claim for compensation.

Unfortunately there are still many countries around Europe where it isn’t possible to file group claims.

A Commission proposal is out to change that, and we know lots of MEPs who want to make group actions possible in the EU.

Our campaign involves getting as many MEPs as possible to stand with a cut-out of Lady Justice herself calling for collective redress. How many can we get? Check the results so far by clicking on this link. We’ll be continuing this action throughout September and October.
