On Wednesday, 9 September, AmCham EU hosted a roundtable on transatlantic consumer cooperation as a part of the European Union’s International Product Safety Week and the International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization’s International Symposium. The discussion explored how closer EU-US cooperation could improve consumer outcomes in practice, from product safety and recalls to fair commercial practices, as the European Commission prepares to revise the Consumer Protection Cooperation framework.
The exchange began with reflections on the state of play of transatlantic consumer cooperation from Sarah Wilson, Partner and Chair of the Product Safety Practice Group, Covington; Pierre Minoves, Acting Policy Assistant, Cabinet of Commissioner McGrath, European Commission; and Léa Auffret, Director, Transatlantic Consumer Dialogue. This was followed by a discussion with leading EU and US experts, officials and AmCham EU member representatives about how improving EU-US cooperation in consumer protection can deliver benefits for businesses, consumers and regulators. Thank you to Covington for sponsoring and to Razvan Antemir (Amazon), Chair, Consumer Affairs Committee, AmCham EU for moderating.
