Press release
The European Commission announced today that Coca-Cola has agreed to change some of its labelling practices, following a complaint for greenwashing that BEUC and its members lodged in November 2023 to European consumer authorities, with the support of Client Earth and ECOS. Today’s announcement is the first company commitment since BEUC’s complaint was filed.
Press release
Today, the European Commission published its action plan for the automotive sector. The plan contains some good initiatives to ease consumer access to electric cars but diluting CO2 targets will make them less affordable and less accessible.

Today, the European Commission buckled in the face of strong industry lobbying to water down 2025 CO2 targets, which will mean that electric cars will be less available and affordable for consumers in the coming years. This is the main conclusion of the result of the Commission’s recent Automotive Strategic Dialogue, of which BEUC is a member.

As negotiations on the reform of passenger rights move full steam ahead, BEUC warns that this legislative train is dangerously off track. The Hungarian EU Presidency plans to reach a General Agreement within a few weeks, but the current proposals fall short of adequately protecting consumers. We urge Member States to make decisive changes to ensure consumers can confidently exercise their rights.
