Financial advice is failing consumers in Europe. This is because financial advisors get commission for recommending products whether they're in consumers' interest or not. The European Commission should put this right in its Retail Investment Strategy - Agustin Reyna explains more 👇

Creativity Works! Christel Schaldemose Thierry Breton Really? My reading is:
1) the majority of respondents didn't even try (that's why there were not blocked) but would be interested
2) those who tried, half of them faced geoblocking and were blocked at least once
3) Demand for cross border access grew

Great news for current and future EV drivers across Europe!

Would you use a petrol station that doesn't indicate the price, treat people differently according to 'petrol contracts' or is regularly out of order? No.

The EP proposal is just right in this regard ⬇️

.European Commission 🇪🇺 has proposed a solar mandate on all new homes by 2029. We support the idea - it's low cost & will help consumers through but we should go faster.✍️ That's why we've written to MEPs asking them to bring mandate forward to 2024: beuc.eu/sites/default/…

Bad financial advice is a Europe-wide problem. Ramūnas from 🇱🇹 was recommended a supposedly attractive investment by his bank. This turned out to be a risky loan and he ended up facing endless court proceedings. It's time to make financial advice work for consumers LT Consumers Alliance
