Gheorghe Piperea: 'We must protect consumers from financial self-destruction'
The development of online commerce has led to an increased risk of compulsive shopping and consumer over-indebtedness, said MEP Gheorghe Piperea, representative of the ECR political group in the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) of the European Parliament, at the meeting on February 17, when the own-initiative report (INI) - 'Product safety and compliance with regulations in e-commerce and imports from outside the EU' was discussed.
