We represent 44 independent national consumer organisations in Brussels and defend the interests of European consumers.
About us
The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) is the umbrella group in Brussels for 44 independent consumer organisations. Our main role is to represent them to the EU institutions and defend the interests of European consumers. Our daily work involves making sure the EU takes policy decisions that improve the lives of consumers. This covers a range of topics including competition, consumer rights, digital rights, energy, redress and enforcement, financial services, food, health, safety, sustainability and trade policy. Our acronym originates from our French name, ‘Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs’. We were founded in 1962 by consumer groups from six Member States of, what was then, the European Economic Community (EEC). Nowadays our members are from 26 EU Member States as well as Iceland, North Macedonia, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

⚫Black Friday alert: are the online reviews you are seeing really written by customers or are they designed to mislead you? ⚫ In today’s digital marketplace, fake reviews are a growing problem, designed to mislead shoppers into buying subpar products. Don't fall for deceptive tactics! Petra Vargova Cakovska tells you how to protect yourself: 1️⃣ Look beyond the stars: Don’t just trust a perfect 5-star rating—check the content for signs of authenticity. 2️⃣ Spot patterns: Overly enthusiastic reviews or clusters of posts on the same day? 🚩 3️⃣ Review the reviewers: Profiles with minimal activity may not be trustworthy. 4️⃣ Check the timing: A sudden flood of positive reviews following bad feedback? Be cautious. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eNJcjXuZ
