Consumer information
Information is a deciding factor for consumers when making their choices and affects both consumer interests and their confidence in the products and services circulating within the internal market.
Within the European Union, consumers have at their disposal a range of instruments and networks providing them with reliable information and helping to resolve any difficulties they may encounter in the internal market. There are also a number of rules to protect consumers when faced with businesses employing unfair trading practices or misleading advertising.
