hWorld Consumer Rights Day

15 March is the World Consumer Rights Day (WCRD) marking the date in 1962 when President John F Kennedy first outlined the definition of consumer rights (http://tinyurl.com/65de57q).

On the occasion of WCRD 2016, in a joint campaign ANEC and CEN-CENELEC have produced an infographic on consumer rights and standards in Europe. The infographic shows how the different consumer rights are supported by standards in Europe.

Please find the infographic  can  be found on the ANEC website at:

We invite you to circulate the infographic in your networks and join us in our social media campaign on Twitter using the hashtags #WorldConsumerRights, #wcrd2016, #EUStandards, #ConsumerDay.
