Representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers

This dossier concerns a directive on representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers. The amendments let qualified entities seek remedy against infringements of Union law, set criteria for those entities, and address injunction and redress orders, cross-border infringements, safeguards against abusive litigation, and areas such as data protection, financial services, travel, energy and the environment; one committee proposes rejecting the proposal.
