The Evolution of the Right to Information of the Consumer: References to European Policies and Legislation with Effects on Internal Law

Summary/Abstract: The adoption of legal provisions at European level in order to inform and protect consumers is also likely to influence the Romanian legislation regulating these issues. A basic principle of European consumer protection policies is the right to inform and educate consumers in order to give consumers the opportunity to make informed, well-founded decisions.Consumer’s right to information includes, on one hand, the information supply component by the person providing the goods or services and, on the other hand, the authorities’ duty to provide information where there is a risk to the health of the consumer. The adoption of Directives and Regulations in the field of consumer protection and information is a guarantee of a high level of protection in each Member State, while ensuring the free movement of goods and services and ensuring a free competition. At the same time, the importance of how the consumer understands to exercise this right to information is not to be neglected, another European principle being the reference to the average consumer (concerned with the information that is available to him).
