European Commission Commissioner Albuquerque delivered a video address to participants of the 13th joint Consumer Protection Day of European supervisory authorities (ESAs), which took place in Rome. Due to other commitments in Brussels, the commissioner was unable to attend the event in person, but expressed her intention to address those gathered remotely, emphasizing the significance of this event. The event brings together representatives of three European supervisory authorities — the European Banking Authority, the European Securities and Markets Authority, and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority — as well as other stakeholders to discuss consumer protection issues in financial services across the European Union. In her remarks, the commissioner highlighted the importance of coordinating the efforts of regulators and maintaining continuous dialogue between supervisory authorities, industry representatives, and consumer protection advocates to ensure a high level of protection for EU citizens when using financial products and services. Such annual meetings are designed to contribute to the development of common regulatory approaches and the identification of current challenges in consumer protection in the financial sector. The full text of the speech was officially published by the European Commission in its news and statements section.
