Jobs Minister Richard Bruton today opened the European Consumer Centres’ Network’s (ECC-Net) annual conference which is being held in Dublin Castle under the auspices of the Irish Presidency of the European Council.
Minister Bruton commented
Technology has made it easier for consumers to purchase goods and services across the EU. As a result, it is essential that effective and inexpensive dispute resolution mechanisms such as Alternative Dispute Resolution and Online Dispute Resolution are available to consumers throughout the EU to ensure they have redress if things go wrong. These tools will be vital if we are to continue to maximise the benefits of this activity including job creation and economic growth.
