CONSUMER POLICY COMMITTEE

This committee widely discusses EU policies concerning consumer protection from product safety issues to those on B2C commercial practices. Its discussion now focuses on the Commission's Green Paper on Consumer Protection released in October 2001. As an outcome, JBCE submit its position paper on Green Paper in January 2002. The committee follows up the further development of this issue towards an actual legislative proposal of framework directive on consumer protection.

The committee also continually follows the development of product safety issues including the Member states' implementation of general product safety directive adopted last year.
