Today, the European Commission will present its European Green Deal – the EU’s plans to take action against climate change. The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) strongly believes that policies to fight climate change must reflect the reality of consumers’ everyday lives as a starting point.

MEPs from the Economic Affairs Committee in the European Parliament have boosted measures to tackle a currency conversion scam which affects travellers.

At a time when consumers are increasingly encouraged to turn to financial markets for their pensions or for investments, BEUC today is launching a campaign to improve the quality of advice people receive in finance.

The European Commission has published proposals to tackle a longstanding currency conversion scam that consumers get sucked into when they’re abroad or online.
