European Commission - European Consumer Summit 2010

The European Consumer Summit 2010 will take place in Brussels on 18 and 19 March. This year's summit will focus on services for consumers and in particular on access, fairness and choice. The event will be largely interactive, with small group discussions on the following subjects: choosing the right service provider; the internet – challenges and opportunities for consumers; bank account fees; car hire; green energy; and urban transport.
Workshop discussions will first aim to identify the specific challenges in each area and then focus on finding practical solutions. The results will feed into the reflections on the future consumer policy strategy.
This year's event will feature a strong focus on the media, aiming to reach beyond the Brussels media village to include wider interests such as good-housekeeping and lifestyle magazines, with the aim of broadening the appeal and exposure of European consumer policy.
