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.

Ministry of Economic Development and Technology, Warsaw (Poland)
In recent years, our businesses have operated in less stable, less predictable and less safe global environment. Yet, at the same time, global economic integration has never been deeper. This paradox is particularly evident in the complex interplay between the EU, US, and China. The Extraordinary Employers' Group meeting in Warsaw will seek to align the vision with tangible actions, with the aim to improve competitiveness and resilience, strengthening the EU open strategic autonomy.
