Background

The opinion will focus on the European Commission’s proposal to revise the Consumer Protection Cooperation (CPC) Regulation. Building on the Commission’s 2024 report on the application of the CPC Regulation, the proposal aims to strengthen the enforcement of EU consumer protection rules and address shortcomings in the existing cross-border enforcement framework. 

It introduces measures to speed up and improve coordinated enforcement by national consumer protection authorities and gives the European Commission direct investigation and enforcement powers in large-scale cases with a significant impact on consumers across the Single Market. 

It also strengthens enforcement against non-EU traders by requiring them to appoint a legal representative in the EU. The proposal aims to ensure more effective and consistent enforcement of consumer rights and a level playing field for businesses across the Single Market.
