The @EU_Commission has recommended #Spain to proceed with the renewal of the Council for the Judiciary as a matter of priority and initiate,immediately after the renewal,a process in view of adapting the appointment of its judges-members, taking into account European standards.

I regret to hear that in #Spain negotiations on the renewal of the Council for the Judiciary, which has been acting in ad interim functions since December 2018, have been suspended. The position of the @EU_Commission in this regard is already well known (2022 #RuleOfLaw report).

43% of websites screened for #BlackFriday deals were found to be in breach of EU consumer rules.

🇪🇺 has clear #ConsumerProtection rules in place.

I call on all online retailers to fully respect them & present info on discounts to consumers truthfully.
