About the ECC-Net

The history of the ECC-Network

In 2005, the European Commission and EU member states decided that there should be a network that makes it easier for consumers to exercise their rights in the EU, Norway, Iceland and the United Kingdom, increasing consumer confidence in the EU and removing language barriers. The ECC-Net was established. A unique and independent network, with more than 300 legal specialists, where consumers in 30 countries receive free legal assistance in their own language.

Financial contribution
Since the establishment of the ECC-Network in 2005, the European Commission and national authorities have been working together to help consumers. The ECC in the Netherlands receives financial support from the Ministry of Justice and Security and the European Commission. 

Not for profit
We are proud to be part of a European network that blurs borders and offers consumers in 30 countries the same protection as if they had a conflict with an entrepreneur in their home country. On a not-for-profit basis.
