On 21 May 2026, BEUC, the European Consumer Organisation – together with 29 members from 27 countries – filed complaints with the European Commission and competent national authorities against Meta, TikTok and Google for failing to address the proliferation of financial fraudulent ads on their platforms as the EU’s Digital Services Act requires from them.

The European Commission today published its Passenger Package, an ambitious proposal to encourage consumers to take the train via easier booking and strengthened passenger rights.

This morning, the EU agreed on its Critical Medicines Act to strengthen its supply of antibiotics, vaccines, insulin and other medicines for chronic or rare diseases. This is positive news for patients and consumers at a time when Europe faces persistent shortages of critical medicines, affecting access to essential treatments.

BEUC, the European Consumer Organisation, regrets that the final AI omnibus adopted early this morning, aimed to simplify AI rules to boost competitiveness, instead creates a less safe digital environment for consumers as it delays key provisions in the AI Act and creates dangerous loopholes in the scope of the law.
