European Consumers Seek Support from Cypriot EU Presidency

The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) is appealing to the Cypriot EU Presidency to promote an agenda that serves the interests of consumers. The 40-page memorandum sent to the Presidency includes proposals to maintain compensation rights in case of flight delays, strengthen the enforcement of passenger rights regulations, protect consumers in the digital environment (including facilitating subscription cancellations and protecting privacy against Artificial Intelligence), and ensure the confidentiality of electronic communications. BEUC emphasizes the need for fair and transparent market practices, as well as the protection of fundamental consumer rights.
