Digital consumer protection: EU must finally enforce clear rules!

The EU Commission has published its current digital fairness fitness check, which indicates the growing importance of consumer protection rules in online trade. The report emphasizes that existing regulations against problematic practices such as "Dark Patterns" and manipulative designs are insufficiently implemented. Alien Mulyk, Head of Public Affairs for Europe and International, expressed concerns that the future EU consumer protection agenda could possibly distract from the core of the problem. She criticized the fact that Europe was not sufficient against violations of third countries, while serious dealers suffer from increasing bureaucratic costs.

Mulyk calls for harmonized rules and less regulatory complexity to improve the use of consumer protection. The system is currently very fragmented, which leads to high costs for authorities and companies. Your call to integrate more efficient applications could be crucial for retailers and consumers in order to actually exploit the advantages of the EU internal market.
