Action grants for limiting dual quality and strengthening consumer organisations in the EU

Description of call
"Action grants for limiting dual quality and strengthening consumer organisations in the EU"

The present call for proposals aims at strengthening the role of consumer organisations in relation to testing and comparing basic consumption products, both in the national and cross-border context, and at identifying potentially misleading branding strategies or misleading information provided on the packaging, including in relation to dual quality. The empowerment of consumer organisations is also a key element of the future Single Market Programme and, at the same time, will facilitate the implementation of the New Deal for Consumers legislative package. The target group will be consumers and consumer organisations in the European Union.
