At Europe's Digital Pulse event, Cláudio Teixeira will underline what a Connect Europe survey shows: that consumers are complaining about price increases, barriers to switching providers & a lack of competition in certain national markets. More operators, not fewer, would help!

.The Consumer Voice's Cláudio Teixeira echoed IPSOS' finding that connectivity has become absolutely essential for consumers, and called to maintain pro-competitive policies that achieve both affordability and quality

With new EU cybersecurity rules (#CRA) now EU law and the main rules applying as of 2027, here's a recap of how BEUC contributed to improving the cybersecurity of your connected products ⬇️ beuc.eu/success-storie…

EU ministers have unequivocally concluded at a #telecoms Council that they oppose further consolidation in telecoms markets, want competition & consumer protection preserved & need evidence-based policies in this area. BIG win for consumers! 💪💪💪

Given the Commission's and Mario Draghi's repeated pushes for greater concentration in telecoms markets & deregulation, this is a very welcome signal from ministers. We lay out our position in this crucial area in this paper ⬇️beuc.eu/position-paper…

Great report from our 🇸🇪 member Sveriges Konsumenter about the prevalence of dark patterns when unsubscribing!

Connectivity report sparks renewed debate over regulatory reform With almost two-thirds of the EU’s connectivity objectives fulfilled five years ahead of schedule, the 2030 digital decade targets will be met, said The Consumer Voice's Cláudio Teixeira. - Euractiv euractiv.com/section/tech/n…

Yesterday, BEUC's Claudio Teixeira spoke at the BEREC stakeholder forum. It was great to be able to talk about end users' rights, at a time when the current debate in EU telecoms policy seems to completely ignore end users 👇

As the #consumer perspective remains strikingly absent from current EU telecom rules debate, BEREC Stakeholder Forum focus on end-users is very timely. The Consumer Voice message is clear: end-user rights are a key part of #EUtelecoms success story and must be improved, not weakened.

“As we look ahead to the upcoming revision of EU telecoms rules with the Digital Networks Act (DNA) it is critical to ensure that 'regulatory simplification' will not happen at the expense of consumers” BEUC's Cláudio Teixeira - EWIA 's 10th Anniversary Event

European Commission push to deregulate the telecom market would significantly benefit a handful of major players, some of which are owned by billionaires, an analysis by Euractiv suggests euractiv.com/section/tech/n…

As consumer, it’s concerning to see the kind of “simplification” that Connect Europe thinks their customers want (and deserve): fewer rights, less clarity, weaker privacy and consumer protection. The Consumer Voice calls to uphold consumer rights in a sector where complaints lead the charts.
