💥Out in @govjournal.bsky.social Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Assessing the Democratic Accountability of Europe's New Industrial Policy With @christyapetit.bsky.social we ask "who controls the controllers?" in the EU's industrial policy regime OpenAccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Europeans have some of the strongest consumer protections in the world! Whether that’s shopping, travelling, banking, or surfing the web, the EU has been working hard to keep consumers safe for more than 50 years – both in stores and online.

A digital illustration features three shopping bags, two yellow and one blue with the EU flag (a circle of yellow stars on a blue background). The text "Your rights as an EU consumer" is displayed above, with "rights" and "EU consumer" highlighted in yellow. A dotted line runs across the image, adding a visual flow. The small EU emblem appears in the top left corner.A digital graphic with the heading "Repair, replace, or refund" in bold black text. The text explains that EU consumers have a minimum two-year guarantee on purchases and can get faulty goods repaired, replaced, or refunded for free. Key terms such as "two-year guarantee," "repaired," "replaced," and "refunded" are highlighted in yellow. A circular icon with a euro (€) symbol is at the bottom, with arrows indicating the three possible options (repair, replace, refund). A dotted line flows through the image.A digital graphic with the heading "Safe products" in bold black text. The text reads: 'Safe products. Products offered to EU consumers must always be safe. If a dangerous product appears, companies must take immediate corrective actions.’ The words 'must always be safe' and ‘immediate corrective actions’ are highlighted in yellow. Below the text, there is a blue seal with yellow stars resembling the EU flag, displaying the text '100% SAFE.' A dotted line with yellow and black colors loops around the seal. The image is titled "Travel rights" in bold text. It informs that passengers may be eligible for compensation if their flight or train is delayed, canceled, or overbooked. The word "compensation" is highlighted in yellow. Illustrations of a blue paper airplane and a yellow suitcase are present, connected by a dashed line that flows through the image.
