Since 1999, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has been organising the European Consumer Day where consumers gather to influence the EU debate. The topic of this year will be “Empowering consumers for a more sustainable world”. The objective will be to reflect on how to give consumers the information they need and how to help them make the best choices when purchasing a product.
Round tables will focus on topics such as tech for good, the right to reparability, the functional economy, consumption and health.
The event will be held both in Brussels and online. It will gather high level speakers and representatives of EU institutions, national governments and civil society organisations.
Programme – Registration (until 14 November)
