Yesterday Arquivo Assuntos Europeus (2022-2024) met w staff of the EC, incl myself, in an attempt to build bridges + fight the concerning lack of PT in the EC (80% below the quota atm). Good to feel that we were listened to and that the PT government will take concrete action to support European careers

Great way to end a busy professional year: Legal Service conference on 70 years of EU law (incl an all women panel 😉), w/ presentations from people who literally shaped it (all the way back to the 50s!). Very interesting to hear how the Commission views the evolution of EU law

Also, fun fact of the day: just learned that on 21 October 1972 (a bit over 50 years ago), the words ‘consumer protection’ were used for the first time in an official document of the then European Community 🤓

Truly highly recommend joining me and other excellent colleagues MEPLI ✌🏼

The book on the circular economy (in PT) edited by excellent colleagues at University of Minho is finally out! I contributed with a piece on how online reviews advance the circular economy. Very interesting to have exchanged on the topic w/ PT colleagues! tinyurl.com/23useh2h

Just pointing out how massive the new Elgar Encyclopedia of Comparative Law will be: It will consist of several thick volumes making it the most comprehensive reference work in the field of #ComparativeLaw Theories, methods, countries, institutions etc aiming to cover the globe.

Putting this Encyclopedia together was as ambitious and intense as it sounds 🤪 so I’m very excited to see that this massive work is starting to see the light of day!

I was a proud paranymph & really enjoyed reading about consumer empowerment from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. Also interesting to read about the recent shift in the concept of empowered consumer in the Commission’s narrative on the sustainability of consumer contracts

Today European Commission published the results of the 2023 Consumer Conditions Scoreboard (a biennial EU consumer survey). Consumers report major concerns about targeted advertising & misleading practices online, among other issues ec.europa.eu/commission/pre… #consumerprotection

C-133/22: consumer dissatisfaction can validly give effect to a commercial guarantee, with no need to prove it because it concerns ‘consumers’ subjective expectations’ which cannot ‘be subject to objective verification’. See my brief analysis on EU Law Live tinyurl.com/25zyxn48
