"The European Commission is due to publish a Consumer Agenda by May 2012 as a follow-up to the 2007-2013 EU consumer strategy.
The guarantee of safe food, health and product safety should be the highest priority in the Consumer Agenda. According to the Material Deprivation Rate index, 16.3% of the EU’s population is at risk of poverty, and this percentage rises to 17.1% for women. Therefore, crucial to reducing the inequalities between consumers and citizens is that welfare services should be financed in solidarity and made accessible to everyone.
Another important challenge for future consumer policy is the promotion of the interests of the ‘digital consumer’, along with the protection of personal data. It is essential, therefore, to provide the consumer with a safe digital environment, access to telecommunications networks as a means towards social and economic inclusion, and respect of the consumer’s fundamental rights, specifically, the protection of privacy."@en1
