15. marec je svetovni dan pravic potrošnikov, namenjen ozaveščanju o pravicah in varstvu potrošnikov po vsem svetu. Evropski parlament ima pri varstvu teh pravic v Evropski uniji ključno vlogo. V Uniji je namreč več kot 450 milijonov potrošnikov, zato so poštena obravnava, preglednost in varnost na trgu izjemno pomembne. Pa poglejmo, kako so pravice potrošnikov zaščitene v Evropski uniji.

Kako lahko EU preoblikuje svoj ekonomski model, da bo ugoden za potrošnike in planet? Na to lahko (delno) odgovorita Aimilios v Belgiji in Laetitia v Franciji.

Aimilios in njegova ekipa v podjetju Watt4Ever obnavljata stare baterije električnih avtomobilov in z njimi ustvarjata nove sisteme za shranjevanje energije, s čimer omogočata novo življenjsko dobo baterij ter zmanjšujeta porabo dragocenih surovin in energije, hkrati pa preprečujeta dodatno onesnaževanje.

Laetitia in organizacija »Halte à l'Obsolescence Programmée« ali HOP (»Ustavimo načrtovano zastarelost«) si prizadevata za daljšo življenjsko dobo in večjo popravljivost vsakdanjih izdelkov.

Evropski parlament podpira ukrepe na ravni celotne EU, ki spodbujajo krožno gospodarstvo, pravico do popravila in boljše recikliranje surovin, da se prepreči onesnaževanje planeta in  zagotovijo ugodnosti za vašo denarnico.

Programi EU, kot je Obzorje Evropa, ter skladi za razvoj podeželja in regionalni razvoj omogočajo, da taki projekti pridobijo potrebna sredstva.

Prilagajanje gospodarstva vašim potrebam in planetu: spoznajte Aimiliosa in Laetitio – 9:16 EE24

Ali ste že kdaj na družbenih omrežjih prebrali objavo, zaradi katere ste se razjezili ali užalostili? Ali pa se je zdela preveč dobra, da bi lahko bila resnična? Ali ste se ob njej takoj vprašali, ali je resnična?
Ljudje, ki objavljajo dezinformacije, izkoriščajo močne čustvene odzive, prek katerih manipulirajo z nami in razširjajo svoje sporočilo.
Ekipa Evropskega parlamenta za komuniciranje vam pomaga pri lažjem razumevanju, kako taki ljudje počnejo to in kako se lahko izognete, da bi se ujeli v njihovo zanko.

Okolju prijazno, biološko razgradljivo in podnebno nevtralno … V zadnjih letih so številne korporacije precenile ali napačno razlagale svoje zelene reference ter pri tem potrošnike pogosto zavajale s pretiranimi izjavami glede okolja in trajnosti. Do takšne mere, da se je v praksi uveljavil izraz »zeleno zavajanje«. Parlament je izglasoval prepoved zelenega zavajanja in zagotovil, da so podatki o trajnosti jasni in preprosto dostopni potrošnikom. Več informacij je na voljo v našem kratkem videoposnetku z razlago.

&lt;p>Eco-friendly, biodegradable, climate-neutral… In recent years, many corporations have overstated or misrepresented their green credentials, often misleading consumers with exaggerated environmental or durability claims. So much so that the practice gave rise to the term ‘greenwashing’. Parliament has voted to outlaw greenwashing and make durability information clear and easily accessible to consumers.
