Following-up to the highly acclaimed EESC opinion "Call for fair competition with regard to 3rd country platforms" adopted in September 2025, the topic of this year’s edition of the European Consumer Day will be challenges related to e-commerce from third-country platforms seen from a broader economic and social perspective.
