Consumers could be fully reimbursed if they become a victim of an impersonation scam according to a vote in the European Parliament’s ECON Committee today.

      This Saturday marks the moment the Digital Services Act will apply in full to online platforms and marketplaces. Consumers will be better protected from rogue sellers, no longer have their sensitive or children’s data used for targeted ads, and can opt for more privacy regarding recommender systems.

      Aiming to become carbon-neutral by 2050, today the EU Commission has proposed a 90% cut in the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, compared to 1990 levels. To reach such a target, BEUC, the European Consumer Organisation, calls on decision makers to make the roll out of the ambitious climate legislations already adopted their number one priority.
