For decades, the European Union has taken a number of actions and measures aimed at ensuring effective consumer protection and guaranteeing their rights. They are part of the Union's strategic goal of improving the quality of life of European citizens.Confirmation of this approach of the Union are the many legal acts adopted in European law in order to guarantee the rights of consumers in various public sectors.Despite the progress made in the area analyzed, problems still exist in a number of Member States which hinder the full realization of consumer rights.Today, in the context of the COVID - 19 pandemic, the European Union and its Member States should make even greater efforts to guarantee the rights of consumers who are directly affected by the negative effects of the current global health crisis.
