European consumers want a reliable, easy-to-use and free digital euro.
Most Europeans expect the upcoming digital euro to be secure, easy to use, and free of charge, according to a new survey by the European Consumers Organization (BEUC). The poll surveyed over 10,000 consumers across 10 eurozone countries.
Policymakers are still working on the digital euro's legislative framework, but the ECB says it could be ready by 2029.

Today I got to speak at the accessible banking conference in Brussels, organised by the European Blind Union and AccessibleEU, on a panel about making banking services actually work for everyone. I was joined by @ErikGustafsson and @DanielGoransson from #AxessLab, Hendrik Bourgeois from #Mastercard, and moderator Anna Martin from #BEUC.
Axess Lab kicked things off with a fantastic demo of a public touchscreen that starts speaking as soon as you explore it with your finger. That alone could solve a lot of the problems blind people face with lockers, kiosks, and terminals that currently rely only on visuals.
We talked about how inaccessible systems aren’t just annoying–they’re risky. If you have to tell your PIN to someone else just to pay, something’s seriously wrong. Another strong point was that accessibility isn’t something you can just add on at the end–it has to be part of how teams work, from product design to customer support. Otherwise, it just doesn’t stick well. -

Consumer groups urge the EU to press airlines over baggage fees.
Sixteen consumer groups have called on the EU to take action against seven low-cost airlines over their baggage fees.
The carriers include easyJet, Norwegian, Ryanair, Transavia, Volotea, Vueling and Wizz Air.
The European Consumer Organisation, BEUC accuses the airlines of "misleading" passengers and creating "confusion" and "distress" at check-ins.

Europejska Organizacja Konsumencka (BEUC) opublikowała analizę wskazującą na sposoby, w jakie Apple oraz inne firmy technologiczne, takie jak Google, Amazon, Meta, ByteDance i Microsoft, nie spełniają wymogów unijnej ustawy o rynkach cyfrowych (DMA).
BEUC szczególnie zwróciła uwagę na kilka aspektów, w których Apple nie spełnia standardów DMA, mimo że firma zapowiedziała aktualizacje w celu poprawy zgodności.
Oto kluczowe zarzuty wobec Apple:
- Utrudnienia przy korzystaniu z alternatywnych sklepów z aplikacjami: Firma tworzy niepotrzebne kroki, aby zniechęcić użytkowników do przechodzenia na alternatywne sklepy z aplikacjami lub pobierania aplikacji spoza App Store.
- Zmiana domyślnych ustawień: Apple nie ułatwia konsumentom zmiany domyślnych ustawień aplikacji.
- Wybór przeglądarki: Ekran wyboru przeglądarki jest skomplikowany i mylący, co utrudnia konsumentom podjęcie świadomej decyzji.
- Ostrzeżenia przed alternatywnymi płatnościami: Apple używa języka, który może odstraszać konsumentów od korzystania z alternatywnych metod płatności.
- Usuwanie aplikacji: Apple nie pozwala użytkownikom łatwo odinstalować aplikacji pierwszej strony (tj. wbudowanych aplikacji Apple), mimo że DMA wymaga tej funkcji.
- Opóźnienia w dostarczaniu raportów zgodności: Apple nie dostarcza odpowiednich raportów zgodności do Komisji Europejskiej i opóźnia wdrażanie niektórych środków wymaganych przez DMA.
Pomimo tych zarzutów, BEUC zauważyła, że Apple zapowiedziało zmiany, które mają zostać wprowadzone do końca 2024 roku, z niektórymi funkcjami wdrażanymi do wiosny 2025 roku. Obejmują one m.in. możliwość ustawienia domyślnych aplikacji, usuwania aplikacji takich jak Safari czy App Store, oraz ulepszenie ekranu wyboru przeglądarki.
Komisja Europejska prawdopodobnie weźmie pod uwagę zalecenia BEUC przy dalszych działaniach dotyczących zgodności firm technologicznych z DMA. Raport BEUC nie jest jednak wyczerpującą oceną zgodności z każdym przepisem DMA, lecz koncentruje się na kwestiach istotnych dla konsumentów.
