    What happens when six European countries decide to join forces? 🌍🇪🇺   In 1957, they signed the Treaty of Rome, creating a common market where people, goods, services and capital could move more freely.   It was a bold step that would transform Europe and bring us closer to the EU we know today!

    Ever noticed that your favorite snacks are shrinking while the price stays the same? We are tackling deceptive practices through EU consumer protection laws against hidden price hikes. Clear unit pricing (per kilo / litre) is mandatory, helping you to easily spot ‘shrinkflation’ on the shelf and to compare products. EU laws empower national authorities to stop misleading presentation by the trader, designed to trick you into misjudging a product’s real size. Let’s take the guesswork out of shopping 🛒 Consumer protection is a priority in the EU’s Single Market. Discover how our Consumer Agenda can make a difference in your everyday life 👉  https://lnkd.in/eCzuMV9T

    Your mobile data shouldn't crawl just because you crossed the border. Under our ‘roam like at home', operators in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway cannot ‘throttle’ your speed abroad. If 5G is available in the country you are visiting, you must have access to it at the same quality as at home. Since January 2026, Ukraine and Moldova have also joined the EU’s ‘roam like at home area.’  Next up? Albania and Montenegro, with negotiations aiming to bring them in by the end of this year or early 2027. The plan is to bring in all Western Balkans countries by 2028. Because your connection should be as smooth as your travel plans. 😎

    • An infographic titled "Things allowed to crawl on my European vacation" featuring a pie chart styled as a green street map of Prague. The legend shows a green circle representing "Me crawling back to the hotel after 25,000 steps" making up 100% of the chart, and a red circle representing "My 5G roaming data plan" at 0%.

    Wildfires have been raging across Europe, taking lives and destroying homes, ecosystems, farmland, infrastructure, cultural heritage and local economies. No country should face wildfires alone. Europe stands together. Firefighting teams and helicopters are being sent where they are needed the most through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. EU earth observation system Copernicus is supporting the emergency services through rapid and reliable geospacial information. Because we protect what matters.

    Since January 2025, nothing touching your food in Europe can contain Bisphenol A.    Not your water bottle. Not your tin of tomatoes. Not your food containers.   BPA is a chemical that used to be widely used in food-contact materials, like plastics and can linings – until studies established its bad effects on the immune, reproductive and developmental systems.   Maintaining high food safety standards in the European Union and protecting citizens is one of our top priorities.   — Regulation (EU) 2024/3190: BPA ban in food-contact materials. In force since 20 January 2025 

    • A parody magazine cover titled "D'nR: DIRECTIVES & REGULATIONS," Issue 04, Summer '26. The main headline reads "BISPHENOL-A BANNED FROM EUROPE." The main image shows a hand holding open a green plastic lunchbox packed with rice cakes, cheese, cucumber, salad greens, carrot sticks, and apple slices. In the upper right corner, an inset photo shows a light blue plastic container with a yellow lid that has stylized eyes and large red lips pasted onto it, giving it a human face. Below it, a quote box reads: "'All I wanted was to contain leftovers, not controversy' – Maggy, a faithful houseware."
