European Consumer Organisation

The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC /bɜːk/, from the French name Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs, "European Bureau of Consumers' Unions") is an umbrella consumers' group, founded in 1962. Based in Brussels, Belgium, it brings together 42 European consumer organisations from 31 countries (EU, EEA and applicant countries).

BEUC represents its members and defends the interests of consumers in the decision process of the Institutions of the European Union, acting as the "consumer voice in Europe". BEUC does not deal with consumers’ complaints as it is the role of its national member organisations.

BEUC has subscribed to the European Union’s Transparency Register under the following registration number: 9505781573-45.
