Commissioner Michael McGrath: The EU will strengthen consumer protection online

The European Union aims to enhance consumer protection in the digital economy through a new Digital Justice Act, as stated by Commissioner Michael McGrath. He emphasizes the need for the European Commission to have greater powers to investigate and act against large-scale violations. While online shopping offers convenience, it often leads to deceptive practices that mislead consumers, particularly vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly. The proposed measures aim to ensure fairness and transparency in digital transactions.
