This evidence of widespread problematic practices in car rental seen by ECCs led the European Commission to ask the national enforcement authorities, under the lead of the UK Competition and Markets Authority, to act jointly at EU level to require the car rental industry to better comply with EU consumer legislation.
De constatering door de Europese consumentencentra dat er bij de verhuur van auto's nogal eens iets niet in de haak was, bracht de Europese Commissie ertoe de nationale handhavingsinstanties te verzoeken om, onder leiding van de Britse Competition and Markets Authority, gezamenlijk op EU-niveau maatregelen te nemen om de autoverhuursector ertoe te verplichten de Europese consumentenwetgeving beter na te leven.
