British people have won major gains from new EU consumer laws. From buying cars, to shopping by mail order or online, Labour MEPs have been at the forefront of new laws to protect and improve your rights as a consumer.

Labour MEPs have worked to bring an end to rogue traders and bully-boy salesmen. At European level Labour MEPs have introduced new protections against aggressive and misleading selling methods.  Labour MEPs have also campaigned for tough new EU laws to guarantee your right to proper compensation from airlines that overbook. Labour MEPs also campaigned against faulty goods placing the onus on the retailer to sell high quality goods and the best news is that this law applies right across the EU, from a video bought in Manchester to one bought in Madrid.

Labour MEPs are campaigning for stronger rights for on-line consumers and have led the fight against rip off mobile phone roaming charges. So when you go on holiday or on business to anywhere in the EU, you can expect a fairer deal from your mobile phone company. Labour MEPs have campaigned for fairer rules for consumers and will continue to be on your side in Europe.
