The opinion examines the 2030 Consumer Agenda, a new five-year strategy for EU consumer policy. The Agenda addresses four key priority areas: a) an action plan for consumers in the single market; b) digital fairness and consumer protection online; c) sustainable consumption; d) effective enforcement and redress.
The EESC welcomes the 2025 Strategic Foresight Report: Resilience 2.0, while underlining that future reports should also address radical disruptions. The EESC is uniquely placed to detect weak signals and underlying trends in strategic foresight and therefore its foresight-driven viewpoint should continuously feed into the Commission’s policy cycle. The EESC also calls for common, verifiable EU-wide metrics for socio-economic and institutional resilience. In this regard, the EESC is of the view that strategic foresight should also support sustainable and inclusive well-being as part of the European social model.
