Press releases

The EU Commission announced today proposals to simplify rules for “small” mid-caps and reform the Single Market. While simplification can benefit companies and consumers alike, BEUC highlights the necessity to improve the enforcement of the EU’s key data protection law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), instead of reopening it and the need to keep some key information about products’ use, maintenance and sustainability on and with the products, not online.

BEUC calls on the Commission to ensure consumers are well protected and laments the removal of key legislation on AI liability, e-privacy and rail passenger rights.
