The European Consumer Day is an annual event organised since 1999, which gives consumers a forum to discuss topical policy developments. 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 was challenges related to e-commerce from third-country platforms seen from a broader economic and social perspective. The objective was to discuss potential far-reaching impact of the platforms' expansion on the EU economy and society as such and bring on board actors from all walks of life to advocate for a common cause.
