Wide-ranging consumer protection: The European system has developed over 30 years, with direct benefits for consumers in various areas of their daily lives. + High standards and more choice: EU rules impose the highest safety requirements in the world, not least for toys. + Lower prices: Mobile phone roaming costs have decreased by 92% since 2007 and will be abolished in June 2017. All European travellers will then 'roam like at home'. + More safety: Thanks to EU road safety laws, Europe has the lowest accident fatality rate in the world – deaths fell by 43 % between 2001 and 2010 and again by 17 % from 2010 to 2015. |
