Goals / Remit
The European Consumer Centre, located in Brussels, informs European consumers about the advantages of the internal market and assists in case of cross-border consumer disputes, i.e. when the trader and the buyer are located in a different member state of the European Union. The centre is funded by the European Commission and the Federal Public Service Economy, SMEs, Self-employed and Energy.
ECC Belgium is part a European network of 30 centres in 28 member states + Norway and Iceland.
The European network of Consumer Centres (ECC-net) has been established by the European Commission to:
- enhance the trust of the European consumer in the internal market through information and advice
- assist the European consumer in case of cross-border consumer disputes
- provide a link between the consumer and the ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) bodies.Main EU files targeted

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
