Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present the core functions of the European Union's advisory and consultative institutions as actors in EU consumer policy. It provides a description of the European Economic and Social Committee and EU non-governmental consumer organizations involved in the process of developing and implementing the European Union's consumer policy. In the context of safeguarding consumer interests at the EU level, these institutions perform a primarily advisory and consultative role.
