European Consumer Day 2025

Following-up to the recently adopted EESC opinion "Call for fair competition with regard to third country platforms", this year’s edition, titled ‘Europe for sale? How global marketplaces are changing our society – and what must be done right now’, will examine the cross-sectoral challenges posed by e-commerce conducted by third-country platforms. The event will bring together representatives of EU institutions, national governments, and civil society organisations to discuss the potential impact of this phenomenon on the EU economy and society as a whole.

The aim is to hear from a broad range of relevant stakeholders and to identify measures that could be taken immediately, or in the near future, to improve the situation.

Discussions will take place in two consecutive panels focusing on enforcement and on the impact on EU consumers and society. Consult the programme here. 

Join us for an engaging discussion at the EESC premises on 
1 December!
