The Netherlands - Consumer Authority launches campaign on doorstep selling

As many consumers are not aware or are insufficiently aware of their rights when it comes to doorstep selling, today the Consumer Authority is launching an awareness campaign. The DeurWijzer, a resource for consumers who are affected by doorstep selling, forms part of this campaign. The Minister of Economic Affairs, Maria van der Hoeven, explains: "Consumers receive additional protection under the law because they often feel caught unawares when a doorstep seller visits them at their door. Unfortunately, many consumers don't know their rights, which is why we have launched this campaign." Today we gave the first DeurWijzer to a consumer in order to launch the campaign.
