FRP 2020/349 - Sign. - EU-wide rules on collective redress
Aflevering 2, gepubliceerd op 12-03-2020 On 9 January 2020 the European Parliament announced that the Legal Affairs Committee confirmed Parliament’s negotiating position on a new bill introducing European Union-wide rules on collective redress. This means that MEPs can soon start negotiating the final shape that the legislation will take with the Council of the European Union, which has also approved its general approach on the matter. The draft rules allow consumer organisations to seek remedy, enforce a high level of protection and to represent the collective interest of consumers. Collective action would be authorised against trader violations, in domestic and cross-border cases, in areas such as data protection, financial services, travel and tourism, energy, telecommunications, environment and health.
