Hvert år den 15. marts er det international forbrugerdag. Det er en begivenhed, der bruges til at skabe opmærksomhed om forbrugerrettigheder og forbrugerbeskyttelse rundtom i verden. Og når det kommer til beskyttelse af forbrugernes rettigheder i EU, spiller Europa-Parlamentet en afgørende rolle. I EU er der over 450 millioner forbrugere. Derfor er det meget vigtigt at have et sikkert og gennemskueligt marked, hvor folk bliver behandlet retfærdigt. Lad os se nærmere på, hvordan dine forbrugerrettigheder er beskyttet i EU.

Hvordan kan EU reformere sin økonomiske model til gavn for forbrugerne og planeten? Aimilios i Belgien og Laetitia i Frankrig har (en del af) svaret!

Aimilios og hans team hos Watt4Ever genanvender brugte batterier fra elbiler i nye energilagringssystemer, der effektivt giver batterierne et nyt liv og sparer værdifulde råmaterialer og energi, samtidigt med at man undgår yderligere forurening.

Laetitia og "Halte à l'Obsolescence Programmée", eller HOP ("stop planlagt forældelse"), fører kampagne for, at hverdagsprodukter kan holde længere og kan repareres mere.

Europa-Parlamentet bakker op om EU-dækkende foranstaltninger, der skal fremme en cirkulær økonomi, retten til reparation og bedre genanvendelse af råmaterialer for at undgå at forurene planeten og til gavn for din pengepung.

EU-programmer som Horisont Europa samt fonde for udvikling af landdistrikter og regioner sikrer, at sådanne projekter får de ressourcer, de har brug for.

Miljøvenligt, bionedbrydeligt, klimaneutralt… I de senere år har mange virksomheder overdrevet eller tegnet et misvisende billede af, hvor grønne de i er, hvilket ofte vildleder forbrugerne med overdrevne påstande, hvad angår miljø eller holdbarhed. Faktisk forekommer det så ofte, at denne praksis har givet anledning til begrebet »grønvaskning«. Parlamentet har stemt for at forbyde grønvaskning og gøre holdbarhedsoplysninger klare og let tilgængelige for forbrugerne. Lær mere i vores korte videoforklaring.
