The Consumer Protection Co-operation (CPC) Regulation in the EU is ineffective due to fragmented enforcement and lack of central powers, leading to delayed actions on consumer complaints and undermining consumer trust. Euroconsumers calls for reforms including direct enforcement powers for the European Commission, standardised remedies, better communication with consumer organisations, and linking public enforcement to private redress.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Regtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your EU consumer tech product now faces a potentially stronger regulator with direct enforcement powers coming. Speed up compliance and prepare for consistent cross-border rules with less national fragmentation.
