When it comes to consumer protection, no region in the world does it better than Europe. 🇪🇺

On #WorldConsumerRightsDay, it’s worth remembering: more than 50 years of advocacy don’t just sit in policy papers — they show up in your daily life: in fair transactions, safe products, and transparent contracts.

Let’s keep working to make it even stronger!

Supporting the people and ecosystems that sustain us. 🌱

We are working to ensure Europe’s food and water security remains unshakable.

By valuing our farmers, our bees and our soils, we protect the health of every citizen.

Brilliant European women powered progress, but the credit did not always go to them.

Melitta Bentz invented the coffee filter. History called her a ‘housewife’.
Marthe Gautier found Down Syndrome’s extra chromosome. Her boss took the spotlight.
Maria Anna Mozart composed masterpieces. Wolfgang Amadeus’ name survived, hers vanished.
Janet Sobel pioneered drip painting. Jackson Pollock was the genius.

This International Women’s Day, let’s restore their stories and give the credit they deserve!

A secure and sustainable maritime future for Europe.

By investing in our maritime manufacturing and its people, we are protecting both our economy and our shared environment.

The 2025 #SafetyGate report showed a record number of alerts of dangerous products being flagged and removed from the market.

The most frequent alerts:

🧴 Cosmetics - 36%
🧸 Toys - 16%
🔌 Electrical appliances - 11%
