Short questionnaire about geoblocking - CLOSED!

Your opinion about geographic barriers in online shopping

Have you ever been unable to buy something because of where you live? Or been re-routed to a local website and charged a higher price based on your country of residence ?

ECC Austria as a part of the ECC-Network is currently running a survey in order to find out what experience consumers have with so-called "geo-blocking" (unequal treatment on grounds of residence or nationality).

Consumers often cannot purchase goods or services online from traders resident in other EU member states or have to pay a significantly higher price due to their place of residence or nationality.

Your experiences are an important contribution

We kindly ask you to take a few minutes to fill in our short questionnaire.

Thank you!

Will air passenger rights change soon?

A new attempt for revised passenger rights in air travel is here. The initiative could lead to the replacement of the old Air Passenger Rights Regulation, especially in the area of delays and flight cancellations. This means that air travellers in the EU will get more rights in the future - but also fewer in certain cases.

Review of 1 year of legal assistance by ECC in Corona-related consumer cases

In 2020, victims turned more than ever to the European Consumer Centre (ECC) Austria, part of the Austrian Association for Consumer Information (VKI). We used this year's World Consumer Day (15 March) as an opportunity to take a retrospective look at our counselling activities in one year of Corona.
