So, what has the EU ever done for us? - The Irish Times - Tue, May 29, 2012: "Consumer rights : new rules make it easier for companies to sell online or at a distance in other EU states, while also giving consumers greater protection. There is a 14-day EU-wide cooling-off period for online sales and the cost of returning products bought online must be clearly stated in the sales contract.
All products bought online must be delivered within 30 days, the trader is responsible for any damage to, or loss of, the product during delivery and there will be an end to hidden charges, such as those in the “pre-ticked boxes” sometimes used in internet sales.
Clearer food labelling : the energy content and amounts of fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein and salt must all be stated in a legible form on the packaging, under EU rules.
At present, all ingredients – including allergenic substances – must be indicated on the labels of pre-packed foods. The new legislation extends this obligation to non- packaged foods, for example food sold in restaurants or canteens. Also the origin of fresh meat, from pigs, sheep, goat to poultry, has to be shown on the label."
