Seldia Joint Statement on the Draft Proposal of the Presidency of the Council on Doorstep Selling

Seldia joins forces with other organisations for the Draft Proposal of the Presidency of the Council on Doorstep Selling.

The Presidency of the Council has prepared a compromise proposal for agreement during the COREPER meeting of 1 March 2019. The draft rules presented by the Presidency of the Council would allow the introduction of different consumer protection rules depending on the Member State, taking away from European consumers the benefit of enjoying the same rights and high level of consumer protection across the EU, as they do today.

We call on Member States to reject the Presidency of the Council’s proposal and support instead the balanced set of provisions voted by an overwhelming majority of the European Parliament’s Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee on the 22nd of January 2019.
