All Committees

From Friday, 4 October to Sunday, 7 October, AmCham EU attended the ALDE Congress in Estoril, Portugal. During the Congress, the delegation engaged with a range of officials and participated in two roundtables, one on how Europe can strengthen its competitiveness and the other on Ukraine’s reconstruction. We continued to underline the messages from our Agenda for Action 2024-2029, which was released earlier this year. Much needs to be done to increase the attractiveness of Europe, but with decisive action, the EU can reset the agenda and strengthen its competitiveness in the global economy.

Consumer affairs

Businesses face a rapidly growing risk of litigation in areas such as sustainability compliance, product liability and digital compliance. This litigation is often financed by third-party litigation funding (TPLF), which offers financial resources to litigants in exchange for a portion of the litigation proceeds. But without sufficient regulatory oversight, TPLF poses risks to the integrity of civil and commercial justice systems. These concerns have prompted calls for stronger EU-wide regulations to ensure transparency, fairness and genuine consumer advocacy in funded legal actions. Find out how TPLF is already increasing exposure to litigation risks across Europe.
