INTRODUCTION

This report presents the results of the Flash Eurobarometer survey ‘Cross-border trade and consumer protection’, carried out in September 2012. The survey follows on from a series of consumer protection-related surveys that have been conducted since 2006 by the European Commission, DG SANCO (Special Eurobarometer No 252, 2006, Special Eurobarometer No 298, 2008, Flash Eurobarometer No 282, 2009, Flash Eurobarometer No 299, 2010, Flash Eurobarometer No 332, 2011)1.

The European Commission aims at improving the business and consumer environment by deepening the single market and enforcing single market and competition rules. Examining consumer conditions across the Member States is fundamental to this end: the Member States and the EU must ensure that goods and services markets are well-functioning, open and competitive and that empowered consumers make informed consumer choices in these markets. The overall objectives were initially set out in the Consumer Protection Strategy for 2007-2013 2 , whose purpose was to empower consumers, to enhance their welfare, and to protect them more effectively. In May 2012, the European Commission then updated its strategic goals in this area by introducing a new European Consumer Agenda 3 , an approach which aims to increase consumer confidence by: reinforcing consumer safety; enhancing knowledge; stepping up enforcement and securing redress; and aligning consumer rights and policies to changes in society and in the economy.

In order to build a knowledge base to support policy-making and the development of regulations, the Commission regularly gathers evidence by monitoring markets and national consumer conditions, conducting in-depth market studies and researching consumer behaviour. The flagship Consumer Scoreboards are published in spring and autumn every year: the spring edition monitors Member States' consumer conditions, integration of the retail market and the development of e-commerce, while the autumn edition ranks some 50 consumer markets using indicators such as comparability of offers, consumers' trust in retailers, problems, complaints, satisfaction, switching, pricing and safety.

This survey looks at the conditions of EU consumers as reported by consumers themselves in the following areas:

Cross-border commerce E-commerce Consumer problems and complaints Dispute resolution Knowledge of Consumer legislation Consumer perceptions of consumer protection Unfair commercial practices Product safety environment Environmental concerns European Consumer Centres

This survey was carried out by TNS Political & Social network in the 27 Member States of the European Union and in Croatia, Norway and Iceland between 12 and 15 September 2012. Some 25.543 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed via telephone (landline and mobile phone) in their mother tongue on behalf of the European Commission, DG SANCO. The methodology used is that of Eurobarometer surveys as carried out by the Directorate-General for Communication (“Research and Speechwriting” Unit) 4 .. A technical note on the manner in which interviews were conducted by the Institutes within the TNS Political & Social network is appended as an annex to this report. Also included are the interview methods and confidence intervals5.

* Cyprus as a whole is one of the 27 European Union Member States. However, the ‘acquis communautaire’ has been suspended in the part of the country which is not controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus. For practical reasons, only the interviews carried out in the part of the country controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus are included in the ‘CY’ category and in the EU27 average.

MAIN RESULTS DOMESTIC AND CROSS-BORDER SHOPPING VIA THE INTERNET

Shopping via the Internet continues to grow throughout the EU

More than half (53%) of European consumers have made at least one online purchase in the twelve months preceding September 2012. This proportion has almost doubled since 2006. A fast uptake of e-commerce can be observed in all 27 Member States, with the strongest development observed in Slovakia (56%, + 50), Ireland (66%, +41), Poland (56%, + 38), the Czech Republic (62%, + 38) and Cyprus (41%, + 35)6.

The Internet is used to make purchases mainly from sellers or providers based in the respondent's own country. The proportion of respondents who make purchases from domestic vendors has grown from 23% in 2006 to 47% in 2012.

All in all, the proportion of consumers who purchased at least once from a provider or a seller based in another EU country has nearly tripled since 2006 to reach 15% of the European Consumers in 2012. This proportion is particularly high in the smaller Member States, where shopping online across borders concern more people: for example in Malta (42% of the consumers used a cross-border seller or provider at least once vs. 11% who used a domestic one), Luxembourg (41% vs. 14%), and Cyprus (31% vs. 5%).

Home internet access makes individuals more likely to shop online both domestically and cross-border. Across the EU, there is a 9-point difference in the level of online shopping recorded for all consumers (53%) and for those with home Internet access (62%). At national level, the widest difference is observed in Germany, where considerably more consumers with home Internet access purchase online than all respondents (74% vs. 63%).

CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS SHOPPING DOMESTICALLY AND CROSS-BORDER

Most Europeans feel confident about buying something online from a domestic vendor, but not yet from a vendor in another EU country

59% of EU consumers feel confident about purchasing via the Internet from a retailer/provider located in their own country, but only 36% feel confident about purchasing via the Internet from a vendor located in another EU country.

However, confidence is very high among people who have already made an online purchase: 90% are confident about purchasing domestically, and 80% are confident about cross-border purchasing.

Confidence among people who have not made an online purchase is lower: 54% would be confident about purchasing domestically, but only 27% would feel confident about cross-border purchasing.

                                                            6 All the differences across time, between countries and between socio-demographic categories commented on in this report can be considered statistically significant at 95% security level.

Page 8: CONSUMER ATTITUDES TOWARDS CROSS- BORDER TRADE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION€¦ · FLASH EB 358 “Consumer attitudes towards cross-border trade and consumer protection” Eurobarometer

6  

Confidence in buying online domestically ranges from 80% in Denmark to 37% in both Cyprus and Malta; across borders, it ranges from 66% in Ireland to 25% in Hungary.

The number of people willing to buy goods and services using another EU language and the number of people who know where to get information about cross-border shopping is steadily growing since 2006

41% of respondents are prepared to purchase goods and services using another EU language.

32% know where to get information and advice about cross-border shopping in the EU.

26% are interested in making a cross-border purchase within the EU during the next 12 months.

Prior experience of cross-border purchasing makes respondents much more likely to answer all three questions positively, as does having home Internet access.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE EUROPEAN CONSUMER CENTRES

22% of respondents have heard of European Consumer Centres. CONSUMER CONFIDENCE

Respondents demonstrate the highest level of trust in independent consumer organisations to protect their rights: 74% express trust in such groups. The level of trust in these organisations continues to increase, and has risen from 66% in 2006.

A majority also trust public authorities (59%, +3 points since 2006) and feel that retailers/providers respect their rights even though the trust level is decreasing (59%, -3 points since 2006).

55% of respondents feel adequately protected as consumers by the existing measures. Results remain relatively stable since 2006 (+1 point compared with 2006).

48% of respondents say that they have changed their consumer behaviour as a result of a media story. The number of people who agree with this statement has risen considerably, from 39% in 2009.

KNOWLEDGE OF CONSUMER LEGISLATION

Awareness of consumer rights varies depending on the question asked

69% of respondents correctly say that within four days after delivery they have the right to return goods that they purchased by post, phone or Internet for a full refund without any justification7.

56% of people know that they have the right to have faulty goods repaired or replaced free of charge without the need for any kind of extended commercial guarantee8. However, only 30% of respondents say correctly that they are not obliged to pay for and/or to return unordered DVDs sent to them through the post. Most people (65%) wrongly think that while they are not obliged to pay they still have a duty to return the DVDs.

85% correctly say that, having bought a bike that turned out to be faulty from a defect present at delivery, they do not have to accept any clauses stating that the seller or producer has no responsibility for repairing the fault.

PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS

25% of respondents say that in the past 12 months they have had legitimate cause for complaint when buying or using goods or services in their own country.

Of those who experienced problems, over 80% took action to solve them.

72% of the respondents who had legitimate cause for complaint took their complaint to the retailer, as opposed to the manufacturer or other bodies.

66% of people who took their complaint to the retailer express satisfaction with the way it was handled – more than those who took their complaints elsewhere.

Common reasons for not pursuing a complaint include that it would have taken too long (37%); that the sums involved were too small (37%); and that a satisfactory solution appeared unlikely (27%).

Delays in the delivery of online purchases have increased

30% of people who made domestic online purchases report delivery delays – up from 20% in 2011. 8% of Europeans say a product they ordered domestically never arrived at all.

However, delivery problems are reported by a smaller proportion of consumers when purchasing across EU borders: only 19% of people who did this suffered delays, and 6% did not receive the product at all.

                                                            7 Under current EU legislation, the delay is 7 days but MS are free to go beyond and extend it. However, the new Consumer Rights Directive – applicable from 13 June 2014 – introduces a harmonised solution ensuring 14 days for exercising the right of withdrawal. 8 Under EU law the seller shall be held liable where the lack of conformity of a product becomes apparent within two years as from delivery of the goods. In addition, any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six months of delivery of the goods shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery.

UNFAIR COMMERCIAL PRACTICES

Misleading or deceptive advertisements remain common

44% of people say that they had come across misleading or deceptive advertisements, statements or offers at least once in the past 12 months. Of those, 23% had bought something based on the claims made in the advertisement.

32% of respondents had come across a fraudulent advertisement, statement or offer. 10% say that they had bought something based on the advertisement’s content.

The Internet is seen as the sales channel most likely to convey misleading or deceptive advertisements

An absolute majority (54%) of respondents say that they are most likely to come across this kind of advertising on the Internet – far more than the 18% who mention the phone, or the 15% who mention the post.

People with home internet access (61%) are even more numerous to regard the Internet as a source of misleading advertising.

 

PERCEPTIONS OF PRODUCT SAFETY

About a quarter of respondents say that a significant number of non-food or food products are unsafe, with a slightly higher proportion for non-food products (27% of respondents compared to 24%).

The number of people who think that a significant number of non-food products are unsafe has increased by 2 points since 2011 and by 9 points since 2008.

The mainstream European view is that a small number of products are unsafe, in the case of both non-food products (55%) and food products (56%).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND PURCHASING DECISIONS

Four out of 10 people (41%) say that the environmental impact of a product or service influences their purchasing decision.

Common reasons for not considering environmental impact include not coming across any information about it (38%); the high cost of environmentally-friendly goods (33%); and a lack of trust in environmental claims (25%).

1. DOMESTIC AND CROSS-BORDER SHOPPING VIA THE INTERNET

The first chapter of the report looks at the extent to which Europeans engage in online shopping both domestically and across borders.8

1.1 Overall level of online purchases

Purchases made via the Internet in the past 12 months

Q14 In the past 12 months, have you purchased any goods or services via the Internet (website, email etc.) in (OUR COUNTRY) or elsewhere in any of the following ways…?

Base: all respondents, % EU27 in 2012-2008/ % EU25 in 2006

For the first time in six waves of this survey, an absolute majority of European consumers now carry out purchases online, with 53% of all respondents having made purchases through the Internet in the past 12 months. This is an increase of 7 points since 2011, and a continuation of the established trend of rapid growth in online shopping. Since 2006 the proportion of Internet shoppers has almost doubled as it was at 27%.

8 In this survey, only Internet purchasing is considered, unlike in previous years when distance purchasing by phone and mail order was also included.

Page 12: CONSUMER ATTITUDES TOWARDS CROSS- BORDER TRADE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION€¦ · FLASH EB 358 “Consumer attitudes towards cross-border trade and consumer protection” Eurobarometer

FLASH EB 358 “Consumer attitudes towards cross-border trade and consumer protection”

10

An absolute majority of respondents in 12 Member States say that they have made purchases online in the last 12 months. As in previous surveys, it appears that there is a clear link between online shopping and the Internet penetration rate9: in countries where the level of Internet access is the highest, online shopping tends to be more widespread. This is the case for the Netherlands (74% purchased via the Internet/household Internet access 93%), Denmark (71%/86%), the UK (68%/74%), Ireland (66%/67%), and Sweden (64%/90%). In these countries the Internet penetration rate is relatively high, and in some cases it is approaching universal access.

Base: all respondents, % by country

9 Internet penetration data are sourced from Special Eurobarometer 381 “E-Communications Household Survey”, which can be accessed here: http://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/archives/ebs/ebs_381_en.pdf

Page 13: CONSUMER ATTITUDES TOWARDS CROSS- BORDER TRADE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION€¦ · FLASH EB 358 “Consumer attitudes towards cross-border trade and consumer protection” Eurobarometer

FLASH EB 358 “Consumer attitudes towards cross-border trade and consumer protection”

11

In contrast, in countries with the lowest levels of household Internet access, online purchases generally remain low. These countries are Portugal (26% purchased via the Internet/48% household Internet access), Romania (31%/45%), Bulgaria (34%/44%) and Greece (34%/42%). As the graph below demonstrates, these four countries have both the lowest levels of Internet penetration and the lowest rates of Internet purchasing in the EU. This is not surprising since those not having internet at home are more likely to have low or no internet skills and in any case have less chances to use the internet for private reasons.

Purchases made via the Internet in the past 12 months

Q14 In the past 12 months, have you purchased any goods or services via the Internet (website, email etc.) in (OUR COUNTRY) or elsewhere in any of the following ways…?

FLASH EB 358 “Consumer attitudes towards cross-border trade and consumer protection”

12

The following chart shows that Internet shopping is increasingly commonplace across the EU. In all but three Member States the proportion of respondents who have made online purchases over the last 12 months has increased. The biggest increases occurred in Lithuania (39%, +14 points), Slovakia (56%, +13 points), Spain (43%, +13 points), Bulgaria (34%, +12 points) and Greece (34%, +12 points). The three exceptions to this general trend are the UK (68%, -1 point), Sweden (64%, -1 point) and Luxembourg (50%, -1 point) where online shopping remained stable since the last survey. Since 2006, the largest absolute increases have been observed in Slovakia (56%, +50 points), Ireland (66%, + 41 points), Poland (56%, +38 points), the Czech Republic (62%, +38 points) and Cyprus (41%, +35 points). The slowest growth has been recorded in Sweden (64%, +14 points), Belgium (44%, +17), Denmark (71%, +18), Finland (58%, +18 points), and Luxembourg (50%, +18), although even in these countries the level of increase is relatively high.

13

EU consumers are more likely to purchase via the Internet both domestically and cross-border if they have Internet access at home. Across the EU, there is a 9-point difference in the level of online shopping recorded for all consumers (53%) and for those with home Internet access (62%). At national level, the widest differences are observed in the Hungary (49% vs. 37%), Germany (74% vs. 63%) and the United Kingdom (79% vs. 68%), where considerably more consumers with home Internet access purchase online than all respondents. The proportion of home Internet users who have made an online purchase has increased from 50% in 2006 to 62% in 2012. This represents an increase of 12 points, compared with an increase of 26 points among all respondents (from 27% in 2006 to 53% now). In all Member States, respondents with home access are now more likely to purchase online. The largest increases since 2006 have been observed in Slovakia (+43 points), Lithuania (+36), Cyprus (+35), Bulgaria (+30, since 2008), Greece (+27), Spain (+27), Malta (+26) and Slovenia (+26).

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Online shopping behaviour is strongly linked to a number of socio-demographic characteristics as well as to other background variables as follows:

Men (59%) are more likely than women (47%) to purchase goods and services online;

Consumers aged 25-39 are the keenest online shoppers (71%), followed by the youngest age group (65%) and respondents in the 40-54 age group (58%). Conversely, only 31% of respondents aged 55 or above shop online;

The higher their level of education, the more likely respondents are to purchase online: just 21% of those who finished their full-time education at the age of 15 or earlier have made a purchase via the Internet, while this figure is three times as high for those who studied until at least the age of 20 (63%);

Employees (70%) and self-employed respondents (67%) are more likely to purchase online than manual workers (49%) and those who are currently not working (38%);

An Internet connection at home increases the likelihood of purchasing online in all socio-demographic groups;

Respondents who have good knowledge of consumer rights are more likely to have made online purchases. 62% of the respondents who gave four correct answers about consumer rights say they made an online purchase, but this drops to 34% among respondents who gave no correct answers.

1.2 Domestic and cross-border online purchases

The next section of the report takes a closer look at domestic and cross-border electronic commerce.

As in previous waves, the Internet is used to make purchases mainly from sellers or providers based in the respondent’s own country. In line with the increase in e-commerce, the level of domestic online shopping has grown considerably from 23% in 2006 to 47% in 2012. The level of cross-border online shopping in the EU has also steadily increased: 15% of EU consumers have now purchased online at least once from a seller/provider in another EU country in the past 12 months, compared with just 6% in 2006. A significant increase is also observed for those EU consumers who have made Internet purchases from a seller or provider located outside the EU, 8% (up from 3% in 2006).

Domestic and cross-border Internet purchases

Q14 In the past 12 months, have you purchased any goods or services via the Internet (website, email etc.) in (OUR COUNTRY) or elsewhere in any of the following ways…?

Base: all respondents, % of ‘Yes, from a seller/provider located in (OUR COUNTRY) and ‘Yes, from a

seller/provider located in another EU country’, % by country

EU consumers are considerably more numerous to have purchased online from a seller/provider based in their own country (47%) than from one located in another EU country (15%). This is the case in most Member States. The widest differences are observed in the Netherlands, where 72% of consumers have purchased from a domestic seller/provider, while only 19% have purchased online from a seller/provider located in another EU country, and in the Czech Republic (60% vs. 7%). However, there are a number of exceptions to this pattern, especially in countries where domestic online markets are relatively small. This applies to Malta (42% cross-border vs. 11% domestic), Luxembourg (41% vs. 14%), Cyprus (31% vs. 5%) and Ireland (48% vs. 40%).

Domestic Internet purchases: evolution

Q14 In the past 12 months, have you purchased any goods or services via the Internet (website, email etc.) in (OUR COUNTRY) or elsewhere in any of the following ways…?

Base: all respondents, % of ‘Yes, from a seller/provider located in (OUR COUNTRY), % by country The number of domestic online shoppers has grown in all EU countries since 2006. The largest increases are observed in Slovakia (49%, +44 points), the Czech Republic (60%, +39) and Poland (54%, +38). The growth has been slower in countries with smaller domestic markets such as in Cyprus (5%, +5 points), Malta (11%, +7) and Luxembourg (14%, +7).

19

The graph below confirms that having an Internet connection at home significantly increases the likelihood that a respondent will make online purchases. 55% of EU consumers with home Internet access have made a domestic online purchase in the past 12 months, compared with 47% of all respondents. This is an 11-point increase since 2006. Cross-border online shopping is also more common, both within the EU (18% vs. 15% of all respondents; up 6 points since 2006) and outside the EU (10% vs. 8%; up 3 points since 2006).

Respondents with Internet access at home are somewhat more likely than the average EU respondent to make both domestic and cross-border purchases online. For example, in the UK respondents with Internet access at home are more likely to purchase online both from domestic sellers/providers (77% vs. 66%) and also from another EU country (24% vs. 20%).

The EU-level trend of consumers who have Internet access at home making more and more online purchases can also be seen at individual country level. In the case of domestic purchases made online by people with home access, the data show that there has been an increase in the number of people doing this in all Member States between 2006 and 2012. This practice has increased most substantially since 2006 in Slovakia (+39 percentage points), Lithuania (+28), Czech Republic (+26), Poland (+25), the Netherlands (+23), Spain (+22), Slovenia (+21) and Bulgaria (+21, since 2008). Elsewhere, the increases have been more modest, such as in Finland (+5 percentage points), Latvia (+5), Cyprus (+6), Denmark (+6), France (+6), Belgium (+6) and Malta (+6).

Respondents who have Internet access at home are now generally more likely to shop online cross-border than in 2006, although the changes are much more modest than those observed for domestic online purchases (18% at EU level, up from 12% in 2006). Malta (+30 points), Ireland (+29) and Cyprus (+28) have registered the largest increases since 2006. These countries are all islands with relatively small domestic markets which may partly explain the demand for cross-border options.

2. CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS DOMESTIC AND CROSS-BORDER PURCHASES

The second chapter presents the results for consumer confidence in online purchases domestically and across borders, as well as more general attitudes toward cross-border shopping.

2.1 Levels of confidence in domestic and cross-border online

purchases

All respondents were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with two statements about how confident they felt when purchasing goods online.

A majority of EU consumers say that they feel confident purchasing via the Internet from a retailer/provider located in their own country: 59% agree, while just one-third of respondents (31%) say they do not feel confident when purchasing online from a retailer/provider in their own country. In comparison, just 36% of EU respondents agree that they feel confident purchasing online from a retailer/provider located in another EU country. Almost half (49%) say they are not confident about doing this.

24

A large majority of the respondents who made at least one cross-border purchase via the Internet within the EU agree that they feel confident when buying goods or services online from vendors in their own country: 90% agree, with 33% strongly agreeing. Just 9% disagree and only 1% strongly disagrees. The level of agreement is also high on the question of whether respondents in this group feel confident when buying goods or services online from vendors in another EU country: 80% agree with this, 21% strongly. 18% disagree, 2% strongly disagree.

25

Now considering only respondents who made no online cross-border purchases within the EU, it appears that a majority of people in this group agree that they feel confident when buying goods or services online from retailers/providers in their own country: 54% agree, with 15% strongly agreeing. Over a third (34%) disagree, of whom 16% strongly disagree. However, the level of agreement is much lower on the question of whether respondents in this group feel confident when buying goods or services online from vendors in another EU country: 27% agree, and only 4% do so strongly. A majority (55%) disagree, and 25% strongly disagree.

Trust in domestic sellers: Internet sales

Base: all respondents, % by country

At individual country level, a majority of respondents in 16 Member States say they feel confident purchasing goods or services via the Internet from retailers/providers in their own country. Respondents express the highest levels of confidence in Denmark (80%), Ireland (76%), the UK (75%) and Sweden (71%). In contrast, respondents in Malta (37%), Cyprus (37%), Greece (39%) and Estonia (40%) feel the least confident purchasing goods or services via the Internet from retailers/providers in their own country.

Trust in domestic sellers: Internet sales (only respondents with home Internet access)

Base: respondents who have Internet access at home (n=20,748), % by country

Among people who have Internet access at home, a majority of respondents in all but six EU Member States say they feel confidence when it comes to buying via the Internet from retailers/providers in their own country. This view is held most strongly by consumers in the UK (85%), Denmark (84%), Ireland (80%), and Sweden (77%). At the other end of the scale, respondents in Cyprus (41%), Malta (43%), Estonia (47%) and Greece (48%) are the least likely to feel confident about buying via the Internet from retailers/providers in their own country.

Trust in EU cross-border sellers: Internet sales

Base: all respondents, % by country

Very diverse results were obtained nationally for online purchases from other EU countries, with an absolute majority of respondents in just four Member States saying that they would be confident about buying goods or services online from retailers or providers in other EU countries. Those four countries are Ireland (66%), Denmark (54%), Luxembourg (54%), and Malta (53%).

At the other end of the scale, relatively few people express confidence in this purchase method in Hungary (25%), Germany (26%), Estonia (27%) and Italy (28%). An absolute majority of respondents in eight EU countries say that they would not be confident buying goods or services online from another EU Member State.

Trust in EU cross-border sellers: Internet sales (only respondents with home Internet access)

Base: respondents who have Internet access at home (n=20,748), % by country

Among people who have Internet access at home, an absolute majority of respondents in seven EU Member States say they have confidence when it comes to buying online from retailers/providers in other EU countries. Consumers in Ireland (70%), Malta (64%), Luxembourg (60%) and Denmark (56%) are the most likely to express confidence in this.

At the other end of the scale, consumers in Germany (30%), Hungary (31%), Estonia (31%) and Poland (34%) are the least likely to be confident about making online purchases from non-domestic sources. An absolute majority of respondents in seven EU countries say that they would not be confident buying goods or services online from another EU Member State.

Levels of confidence in domestic and cross-border distance purchases

Base: all respondents, % EU27

When all these results are collated the data show that a third (33%) of all respondents are confident about purchasing goods online both from domestic and EU sources. 29% are not confident about buying goods online, whether domestically or from another country. A quarter (26%) are confident about buying domestically but not from companies based elsewhere in the EU, while 3% say they are confident about buying from other EU countries but not from their own country.

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Online shopping behaviour is closely linked to a number of socio-demographic characteristics as well as to other background variables as follows:

Men (65%) are more likely than women (54%) to agree that they would feel confident buying goods online from a domestic company, and also from a vendor in another EU country (42% vs. 29%); Consumers aged 25-39 are the most likely to be comfortable buying domestically (76%), while respondents aged 55 and over are least likely to be so (38%). However, 15-24 year-olds (51%) are the most comfortable when it comes to buying from another EU country; people aged 55 or over (19%) are again the least comfortable;

Respondents with a higher level of education are more likely to be comfortable making online purchases from a domestic vendor (66%) and also from an EU vendor (41%). In contrast, only 30% and 14% of respondents who left school aged 15 or under feel comfortable buying online from a domestic and an EU vendor respectively;

White-collar workers are the most likely to feel confident buying goods online from a domestic company (73%) and also from a vendor in another EU country (44%). Respondents who are not working are the least likely to feel comfortable in both cases (47% and 27%);

Respondents who have made a cross-border purchase within the EU are more confident buying both from a domestic supplier (90%) and when it comes to making cross-border purchases (80%);

Respondents who have good knowledge of consumer rights are more likely to feel comfortable making online purchases. Among respondents who gave four correct answers about consumers’ rights 65% are comfortable buying goods online from a domestic company and 37% are comfortable doing so from a vendor in another EU country. But among respondents who gave no correct answers this falls to 41% and 24% respectively.

2.2 Outlook for cross-border shopping in the EU

Respondents were asked whether they agree or disagree with three statements relating to cross-border shopping. They were asked whether they are prepared to purchase goods and services using another EU language; whether they know where to get information and advice about cross-border shopping in the EU; and whether they are interested in making a cross-border purchase in the EU in the next 12 months.

Four out of 10 respondents (41%) agree they are prepared to purchase goods and services using another EU language, although a majority (56%) are not prepared to do this.

A third of respondents (32%) agree that they know where to get information and advice about cross-border shopping in the EU. However, nearly twice as many respondents (60%) say they do not know where to get this kind of information.

A quarter of respondents (26%) agree that they are interested in making a cross-border purchase within the EU during the next 12 months. But two-thirds of respondents (68%) say they are not interested in doing this.

Fewer respondents now say that they are prepared to make purchases using another EU language than said so in 2011; the number of people who are willing to do this having fallen from 50% to 41%. However, the proportion of people willing to use another language is higher than during the last two surveys, up from the 33% recorded in both 2006 and 2008. The number of people who say they know where to get information about cross-border shopping in the EU has also fallen, from 39% in 2011 to 32% now. The proportion of people giving this answer has dropped back to the level recorded in 2010, though it remains some way above the 2006 result of 24% and the 21% registered in 2008.10

35

Analysing the results of respondents who had made at least one cross-border online purchase in the EU, we find that nearly two-thirds of people in this group (64%) are prepared to buy goods and services using another EU language. Only 35% are unwilling to do this.

Half (50%) of the respondents with the experience of cross-border internet shopping say they know where to get information about cross-border shopping in the EU, while 47% say they do not know. A majority (61%) also say that they are interested in making a cross-border purchase during the next 12 months, while only one-third (34%) say that they are not interested in doing this.

Just over a third (37%) of those respondents who had made no cross-border online purchases in the EU are prepared to buy goods and services using another EU language, while 59% are unwilling to do this.

Less than a third (29%) of respondents who had made no cross-border internet purchases say they know where to get information about cross-border shopping in the EU, while 62% say they do not know. Only a fifth (20%) of people, who have not made an online cross-border purchase, say that they are interested in doing so during the next 12 months, while three quarters (74%) say that they are not interested in cross-border purchasing.

Willingness to use another EU language

Base: all respondents, % by country

At individual country level, an absolute majority of respondents in 11 Member States agree that they are prepared to purchase goods and services using another EU language. This is a substantial shift from 2011, when a majority of respondents in 21 EU countries agreed with this statement. Agreement is greatest in Luxembourg (71%), Sweden (61%), Finland (60%) and Denmark (59%). It is also very high in the three non-EU countries included in the survey: Norway (78%), Iceland (70%) and Croatia (63%).

At the other end of the scale, only 24% of people in the UK agree that they would be willing to use another EU language, as do 28% in Hungary, 28% in Ireland, and 36% in Germany.

You are prepared to purchase goods and services using another EU language

Q17.1 (…) please tell me to what extent you agree or disagree with each of the following statements. You are prepared to purchase goods and services using another EU language.

Base: all respondents, % ‘Total agree’ by country

Up until 2011 there was a clear upward trend in almost all EU countries in terms of the number of respondents prepared to buy goods and services using another European language. However, the 2012 data show that this trend has now been reversed in most cases. Greece (48%, +3 points) and Slovenia (58%, +3 points) are the only two EU countries where more people now express a willingness to use another language than did so in 2011.

Elsewhere in the EU, there have been some relatively large declines since 2011 in the proportion of respondents who agree with this statement, notably in Malta (45%, -28 points), the Netherlands (48%, -18 points), Belgium (38%, -16 points), Germany (36%, -15 points), Luxembourg (71%, -12 points), Ireland (28%, -11 points), the UK (24%, -11 points) and Cyprus (46%, -10 points). In five cases agreement has even fallen below the level recorded in 2006: the Netherlands (48%, -21 points), Luxembourg (71%, -14 points), Belgium (38%, -13 points), Malta (45%, -7 points), and the UK (24%, -5 points).

Awareness of access to information and advice

Base: all respondents, % by country

An absolute majority of respondents in just two Member States agree that they know where to get information and advice about cross-border shopping in the EU (down from six in 2011). The level of agreement is highest in Luxembourg (61%), Lithuania (55%), Finland (47%), Slovenia (47%) and Romania (47%), and is also relatively high in Norway (45%). At the other end of the scale, agreement is relatively uncommon in Hungary (19%), Poland (20%), Italy (23%), the UK (25%), and the Netherlands (25%).

In all EU countries except Cyprus (where the level of agreement stayed the same), there has been a fall in the number of respondents who agree that they know where to get information and advice about cross-border shopping in the EU. The decreases were most substantial in Austria (41%, -11 points), Malta (35%, -10 points), Poland (20%, -10 points), and Slovakia (38%, -10 points).

An absolute majority also agree in Iceland (52%) and Norway (51%). At the other end of the scale, relatively few people say that they intend to do this in Germany (18%), Spain (19%), Portugal (21%), Hungary (23%), and the UK (23%),

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

The socio-demographic data show that:

• Men are more likely than women to agree with all three statements, by a margin of between nine and 12 percentage points.

• Younger respondents are the most likely to say that they are prepared to make purchases in other languages and that they know where to find information about cross-border purchases. For example, 58% of 15-24 year-olds say they are prepared to make purchases in another language, as opposed to just 26% of respondents aged over 55.

• Respondents who spent longer in education are similarly more prepared to make purchases using another EU language: 50% of those who finished their education aged 20 or above are prepared to do this, but only 16% of those who left school aged 15 or under say the same thing.

Among respondents who have Internet access at home, 45% say that they are prepared to purchase goods and services using another EU language (20% of respondents without home internet access are willing to do this).

• A majority of respondents (61%) who have already made at least one cross-border purchase within the EU say that they are interested in making another cross-border purchase. In contrast, only 20% of respondents who have not already made at least one cross-border purchase within the EU are interested in making such a purchase.

• Nearly two-thirds (64%) of respondents who have made a cross-border purchase say they are willing to buy goods and services using another EU language. However, only 37% of people who have not made a cross-border purchase say that they are willing to buy goods and services using another EU language.

• Half (50%) of people who have made a cross-border purchase know where to get information about this type of shopping. In contrast, only 29% of respondents who have not made a cross-border purchase know where to get information about cross-border shopping.

• How much respondents know about consumer rights makes relatively little difference in most cases as to whether they agree or disagree with the three statements. One notable exception is among respondents who have made a cross-border purchase. When asked if they are prepared to purchase goods in another EU language, people in this group who give four correct responses about consumer rights (69%) are more likely to answer positively than respondents who gave one or no correct answers (58%).

All respondents were asked whether they have heard of the European Consumer Centres: less than a quarter (22%) of Europeans has heard of them, while three quarters (77%) have not.

Knowledge of the European Consumer Centres

Base: all respondents, % EU27

In four Member States over four out of 10 respondents have heard of the European Consumer Centres: Luxembourg (49%), Austria (45%), Romania (43%) and Portugal (40%). At the other end of the scale, only 8% have heard of European Consumer Centres in both Spain and Denmark, as have 9% in the Netherlands and 13% in the UK. In the non-EU countries, Norway (10%) also registers a low level of awareness.

The number of people who know about the European Consumer Centres has risen with 11 percentage points from 11% in 2006 to 22% in 2012, and the number has also risen in most individual Member States. The largest increases have occurred in Portugal (40%, +31 points), Luxembourg (49%, +30 points), Malta (38%, +29 points), Hungary (33%, +27 points) and Austria (45%, +27 points). Sweden (24%, -6 points) is the only EU country to have recorded a fall in awareness of the European Consumer Centre between 2006 and 2012. The level of awareness has remained stable in the Czech Republic (16%), Denmark (8%) and Spain (8%).

3. FEELING PROTECTED AS A CONSUMER

The next chapter of the report addresses a number of issues related to confidence in national consumer protection environment.

Respondents were asked about how much trust they had in independent consumer organisations as well as in public authorities to protect their rights as a consumer; whether retailers/providers respected consumer rights and if they felt adequately protected by existing measures to protect consumers.

Respondents are most likely to trust independent consumer organisations to protect their rights: 74% of respondents express trust in such groups, although only about 15% of those strongly agree that they trust them. Just over a fifth (22%) say that they do not trust these groups.

A majority of respondents (59%) also agree that they trust public authorities to protect their consumer rights, although again only around 15% of the people who say that strongly agree. Four out of 10 (39%) respondents do not trust public authorities to protect their consumer rights.

The same proportion of respondents (59%) agrees that retailers/providers respect their rights as a consumer; again, around 15% of this 59% strongly agree. 39% of respondents feel that retailers do not respect their rights.

A majority of respondents (55%) also agree that they feel adequately protected by the existing measures, though only a tenth of those people strongly agree. Over four out of 10 (42%) respondents do not agree that the existing measures are adequate.

Consumer confidence

Base: all respondents, % EU27 in 2012-2008/ % EU25 in 2006

Comparing present results with those from previous surveys reveals that trust in independent consumer organisations is growing steadily as it has increased by 2 points since 2011 (from 72% to 74%), and by 8 points since 2006 (66%).

However, trust in public authorities to protect consumer rights has dropped by 3 points since 2011 (from 62% to 59%), though the current level remains 3 points above the level recorded in 2006 (56%).

The proportion of respondents who think that retailers/providers respect their rights as a consumer has also fallen since 2011, by 6 points (from 65% to 59%). It has also dipped 3 points below the level recorded in 2006 (62%).

There was also a fall between 2011 and 2012, this time of 3 points, in the proportion of respondents who think that existing consumer protection measures are adequate (from 58% to 55%). The 2012 result is 1 point above the level recorded in 2006 (54%).

Trust in independent consumer organisations

Base: all respondents, % by country

In all EU Member States an absolute majority of respondents agree that they can trust independent consumer organisations to protect their consumer rights. In many cases, the level of trust is very high, as in the Netherlands (90%), France (87%), the UK (87%) and Ireland (86%). Respondents in Bulgaria (54%) have the lowest level of trust in independent consumer organisations, followed by those in Romania (55%), Greece (57%) and Slovenia (58%). The level of trust is also relatively low in Iceland (57%) and Croatia (58%).

You trust independent consumer organisations to protect your rights as a consumer:

Q1.1 How strongly do you agree or disagree with each of the following statements? In (OUR COUNTRY) you trust independent consumer organisations to protect your rights as a consumer

Base: all respondents, % of ‘Total agree’ answers by country

In most EU countries the level of trust in the ability of independent consumer organisations to protect consumer rights rose between 2011 and 2012. The largest rises occurred in Sweden (80%, +11 points), Malta (78%, +10 points), Cyprus (59%, +10 points), Slovenia (58%, +10 points) and Bulgaria (54%, +10 points). A few countries witnessed small declines in the proportion of people who agree with this statement, with the biggest fall occurring in Germany (76%, -5 points).

Trust in the ability of independent consumer organisations to protect consumer rights has now increased since 2006 in all but four EU countries: Finland (77%, -3 points), Cyprus (59%, -3 points), Germany (76%, -2 points), and Greece (57%, no change). The largest increases since the survey was first conducted have occurred in Spain (75%, +32 points), Bulgaria (54%, +32 points, since 2008), Latvia (68%, +28 points), Portugal (78%, +27 points), and Romania (55%, +22 points, since 2008).

Trust in public authorities

Base: all respondents, % by country

In 20 EU Member States an absolute majority of respondents agree that they can trust public authorities to protect their consumer rights. The level of trust is highest in Luxembourg (83%), Finland (83%), the Netherlands (80%) and the UK (78%). At the other end of the scale within the EU, independent consumer organisations command the least trust in Slovenia (34%), Lithuania (39%), the Czech Republic (40%) and Greece (41%). The lowest levels of all are found outside the EU, in Iceland (31%) and Croatia (32%).

Q1.2 How strongly do you agree or disagree with each of the following statements? In (OUR COUNTRY) you trust public authorities to protect your rights as a consumer

Base: all respondents, % of ‘Total agree’ answers by country

Since 2011 trust in public authorities to protect consumer rights has risen in some countries and fallen in others. The largest rises occurred in the Netherlands (80%, +10 points), Finland (83%, +6 points), and Hungary (70%, +5 points). The most substantial declines were seen in France (59%, -7 points), Poland (46%, -7 points), Greece (41%, -7 points), Germany (59%, -6 points), and Cyprus (54%, -6 points).

Trust in the ability of public authorities to protect consumer rights has increased since 2006 in most EU countries. However, there are some notable exceptions. Trust has declined substantially in Greece (41%, -21 points), Cyprus (54%, -20 points), and Slovenia (34%, -13 points); small declines were recorded in four other countries. The largest increases have occurred in Bulgaria (56%, +29 points since 2008), Luxembourg (83%, +16 points), and Romania (50%, +14 points since 2008).

Respect of consumer rights by retailers/providers

Base: all respondents, % by country

In 21 EU countries an absolute majority of respondents agree that in general retailers/providers respect their rights as a consumer. The level of agreement is highest in Luxembourg (77%), Ireland (75%), the UK (75%), and Austria (74%). However, in Greece only 37% of respondents think that retailers/providers respect their rights as a consumer, as do 40% of those in Cyprus, and 41% in both Bulgaria and the Czech Republic.

In general, sellers/providers in (OUR COUNTRY) respect your rights as a consumer:

Q1.4 How strongly do you agree or disagree with each of the following statements? In (OUR COUNTRY) in general, retailers/providers respect your rights as a consumer

Base: all respondents, % of ‘Total agree’ answers by country

In most EU countries, fewer people than in 2011 now agree that in general retailers/providers respect their rights as a consumer. Indeed, Portugal (66%, +8 points) was the only country to record an increase in the number of respondents expressing confidence in retailers' and providers' respect for consumer rights. The most substantial declines occurred in Denmark (60%, -16 points), Germany (60%, -14 points), Belgium (63%, -12 points), and the Czech Republic (41%, -12 points).

Since 2006, no clear trend has emerged at country level in terms of the confidence that respondents express in retailers’ and providers’ respect for consumer rights. The level of agreement has increased in 12 Member States, while falling in the remaining 15.

The largest positive evolutions since 2006 have occurred in Portugal (66%, +24 points), Bulgaria (41%, +21 points since 2008), Slovakia (63%, +18 points), Romania (51%, +17 points since 2008), Latvia (64%, +15 points) and Lithuania (58%, +15 points). The most substantial falls have been registered in Belgium (63%, -20 points), Finland (72%, -16 points), the Netherlands (64%, -15 points), Sweden (62%, -14 points) and Germany (60%, -14 points).

Confidence in existing consumer protection measures

Base: all respondents, % by country

In 18 EU countries an absolute majority of respondents agree that the existing consumer protection measures are adequate. The level of agreement is highest in Austria (76%), the UK (76%), Luxembourg (73%), Finland (70%) and Sweden (70%). However, in Greece only 18% of respondents think that the existing measures are sufficient; the level of agreement is also relatively low in Cyprus (28%), Bulgaria (30%), Slovenia (36%) and Italy (40%). In the non-EU countries, Croatia (31%) and Iceland (39%) also register low levels of agreement on this question.

Q1.3 How strongly do you agree or disagree with each of the following statements? In (OUR COUNTRY) you feel that you are adequately protected by existing measures to protect consumers

Base: all respondents, % of ‘Total agree’ answers by country

In many EU countries, fewer people than in 2011 now agree that the existing measures for the protection of consumer rights are adequate. Lithuania (48%, +9 points) and Sweden (70%, +7 points) were the only countries where the level of agreement rose by more than a couple of percentage points. Elsewhere, confidence in the existing measures fell substantially, notably in Cyprus (28%, -14 points), Denmark (69%, -12 points), and Greece (18%, -10 points).

55

Since 2006, most Member States have experienced positive evolutions in the number of people who agree that the existing consumer rights measures are adequate. The level of agreement has fallen in the remaining 10 EU countries. The largest increases since 2006 have occurred in Latvia (51%, +18 points), Lithuania (48%, +17 points), Bulgaria (30%, +17 points since 2008), Slovakia (51%, +15 points) and Poland (55%, +15 points). However, substantial negative changes have been recorded since 2006 in Cyprus (28%, -22 points), Greece (18%, -18 points), the Netherlands (69%, -10 points), and Slovenia (36%, -11 points).

The graph below illustrates the strong correlation between confidence in the existing consumer protection measures and the likelihood that respondents have made distance purchases via the Internet. In most cases, a high level of confidence equates to a high rate of online purchasing, while low confidence in consumer protection measures is accompanied by relatively few instances of online purchasing. For example, in the Netherlands, where 69% of respondents think that the existing measures are adequate, 74% of people made an online purchase. However, in Greece, where only 18% of people feel confident about the existing measures, 34% of respondents purchased something online.

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Looking into the socio-demographic variations on these latter questions shows only little differences:

Older respondents are less likely to have confidence on all four aspects of consumer protection indicators than their younger counter-parts: while 70% of 15-24 year olds say they trust public authorities to protect their rights as a consumer, only 54% of people aged 55 and over say so. The same is true for the confidence in retailers and providers to respect their rights as a consumer (70% and 54% respectively).

Those who feel adequately protected by existing measures to protect consumers are logically more inclined to trust consumer organisations (88% vs. 60%), public authorities (77% vs. 36%) and both retailers and providers (72% vs. 42%) to respect consumer rights than those who do not feel adequately protected.

Respondents who experienced unfair commercial practices tend to have less trust than those who didn’t: only 50% say they feel adequately protected by existing consumer legislation compared to 61% among those who never had such an experience.

4. KNOWLEDGE OF CONSUMER LEGISLATION

Respondents were next asked four questions about online shopping in order to measure the extent of their knowledge about their legal rights as consumers.

4.1 Cooling-off period in distance selling

Respondents were asked whether they had the right to return goods that they had purchased by post, phone or Internet four days after delivery, for a full refund. A high proportion of respondents (69%) correctly answered this question11. However, nearly a quarter of consumers (24%) incorrectly believe that they do not have the right to do this. These results are very much in line with those obtained in 2011.

Knowledge of the cooling-off period in distance selling

Base: all respondents, % EU27

An absolute majority of respondents in all but three Member States correctly think that they have the right to return goods bought online, by phone or by post four days after purchase, and receive their money back. Knowledge of this right is most widespread in the Czech Republic (82%), Spain (81%) and Germany (80%). However, less than half of all respondents are aware of this consumer right in Portugal (37%), Greece (41%) and Cyprus (42%). Outside the EU, just 37% of respondents in Iceland know about their right to return goods and get a refund.

11 Under current EU legislation, the delay is 7 days but MS are free to go beyond and extend it. However, the new Consumer Rights Directive – applicable from 13 June 2014 – introduces a harmonised solution ensuring 14 days for exercising the right of withdrawal.

58

Most EU countries have experienced relatively little change on this question since 2011. The largest increases in the number of people who know about this right occurred in Romania (54%, +6 percentage points) and Sweden (62%, +6 ), while France (63%, - 7) registered the largest decline.

4.2 Right to return defective products

Respondents were then asked to imagine that a fridge they bought 18 months ago breaks down and needs repair without any fault on their part. They were asked to say whether they think they have the right to have the fridge repaired or replaced for free, even though they had not acquired an extended commercial guarantee. Across the EU a majority of respondents (56%) answered this question correctly12 – an increase on the 51% of respondents who answered ‘yes’ in 2011. Just under four out of 10 people (39%) incorrectly believe that they do not have the right to have the fridge mended or replaced.

Knowledge of the right to return defective products

Base: all respondents, % EU27

In all but six EU Member States an absolute majority of respondents correctly think that they have the right to have the fridge repaired or replaced for free. The highest levels of awareness of this consumer right are found in the Czech Republic (87%), Slovakia (81%), Spain (78%), Cyprus (74%) and Portugal (74%). However, in France only 37% believe that they have the right to do this, and correct answers are also relatively infrequent in Poland (41%), Lithuania (43%), Slovenia (47%), and the UK (49%). Croatia (41%) also has a relatively low proportion of respondents who answer correctly.

12 Under EU law the seller shall be held liable where the lack of conformity of a product becomes apparent within two years as from delivery of the goods. In addition, any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six months of delivery of the goods shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery.

In most countries more people answered this question correctly than in 2011. In many cases these increases were fairly small, although substantial rises were recorded in Romania (61%, +14 points), Cyprus (74%, +13 points), the Netherlands (55%, +10 points), and Portugal (74%, +10 points).

4.3 Unfair commercial practices – receiving unordered products

Respondents were then asked to imagine a situation where they received two unordered educational DVDs by post, together with a €20 invoice. They were asked whether they were obliged to pay the invoice. Unlike the previous two questions, relatively few EU consumers are able to give the correct answer in this scenario. Only 30% of respondents say correctly that they are not obliged to pay for or to return the DVDs – down from 35% in 2011. Two-thirds of respondents (65%) think that while they are not obliged to pay they do have a duty to return the DVDs (59% gave this answer in 2011). Just 2% of people think they are obliged to pay, the same as in the previous wave of the survey.

Knowledge of Unfair Commercial Practices – receiving unordered products

Base: all respondents, % EU27

Iceland (50%) is the only country, in or out of the EU, where at least half the respondents correctly say that they have no obligation either to pay or to return the DVDs. Within the EU, the highest proportions of correct answers were recorded in Denmark (47%), Finland (47%), Austria (44%) and Belgium (43%). At the other end of the scale only 14% of people in both Spain and Romania answer correctly, as do just 15% in both Greece and Lithuania.

An absolute majority of respondents in all but two EU Member State say that they are not obliged to pay but that they are obliged to return the goods. In Spain 82% give this answer, with similarly high numbers also doing so in Lithuania (79%), Portugal (78%), and Greece (78%). However, only 47% say this in Denmark, as do 50% in Finland, 51% in Austria, and 54% in both Belgium and Poland. In the non-EU countries, only 48% of people in Iceland and 50% in Norway give this answer.

FLASH EB 358 “Consumer attitudes towards cross-border trade and consumer protection”

62

In most countries very few people think that they have an obligation to pay for the goods, though 6% of respondents in Romania and 5% in Bulgaria do give this answer.

Since 2011, most countries have seen a decline in the number of people who rightly say that they are not obliged to pay or to return the DVDs, a decline which is most striking in Lithuania (15%, -14 points), Romania (14%, -11%), Slovenia (38%, -11 points), and Hungary (24%, -10 points).

Most Member States saw a corresponding increase in the number of people saying that they are not obliged to pay but that they are obliged to send the DVDs back. The increases were greatest in Lithuania (79%, +17 points), Hungary (70%, +13 points), Slovenia (57%, +10 points), and Sweden (56%, +10 points).

There were no significant changes in the number of people who think they have an obligation to pay.

4.4 Validity of contract terms

Finally, respondents were asked to imagine that they had purchased a bike which turns out to be faulty, and realise that the sales contract contains a clause rejecting any responsibility on the part of the vendor or producer to deal with faults.

A large majority of respondents (85%) respond correctly to this situation by saying that they should keep the bike but do not have to accept the seller’s clause rejecting responsibility for mending the fault. Just 10% of respondents say that they should keep the bike and also accept the clause about the seller not being responsible for faults.

Knowledge of the validity of contract terms

Base: all respondents, % EU27

At least nine out of 10 respondents give the correct answer to this question in three EU countries: Ireland (93%), the UK (91%), and the Czech Republic (90%). Less than 80% of respondents give the correct answer in eight Member States, with the fewest right answers coming in Cyprus (70%), Romania (73%) and Hungary (74%).

Relatively high numbers of people think that they have to accept the seller’s clause rejecting responsibility for faulty goods in Cyprus (20%), Hungary (19%), Portugal (18%) and Romania (18%). However in the Czech Republic, Ireland and the UK only 5% of respondents would accept this situation.

4.5 Overall levels of knowledge

This section provides an overview of the number of correct answers given by respondents to the four questions discussed above. It divides respondents into groups who gave four, three, two, one and no correct answers.

Overall levels of knowledge

Base: all respondents, % by country

At least a fifth of respondents gave four correct answers in the Czech Republic (25%), Denmark (23%) and Slovakia (20%).

In ten Member States, plus Norway, an absolute majority of respondents gave at least three correct answers, with the highest proportions of respondents giving either three or four right answers in the Czech Republic (75%), Slovakia (67%) and Spain (62%), plus 65% in Norway.

66

In all Member States, the proportion of respondents able to give no correct answers is very low, with Greece (7%), Hungary (6%) and Romania (6%) having the most people who fall into this category.

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

There are relatively few socio-demographic variations on these knowledge questions, though the data shows that:

• There is relatively little difference between male and female respondents.

• Older respondents are somewhat more likely to answer all four questions correctly: while 13-14% of people over 40 give four right answers, only 6% of 15-24 year-olds do so.

• Respondents who spent more time in education are more likely to give four correct answers: 14% of people who left education aged 20 or over do so, compared with 9% of people who left aged 15 or below.

• While 14% of people who have made at least one purchase via the Internet gave four correct answers, only 9% of people who have not made an online purchase did so.

5. PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS

5.1 Overall incidence of problems and complaints

A quarter of respondents (25%) say that in the past 12 months they have had legitimate cause for complaint when buying or using goods or services in their own country.

Of those people who experienced problems, over 80% took action to solve the problem (21% of the total responses), while less than a fifth did nothing about it (4% of the total responses).

Three quarters (74%) of respondents say they have had no cause to complain when buying or using products or services domestically.

Problems encountered when buying or using goods or services

Base: all respondents, % EU27

The likelihood of respondents experiencing problems when purchasing or using a product varies considerably according to the specific country. Cyprus (38%) appears to be the Member State where consumers were most likely to encounter problems after buying products domestically. A relatively high number of people also had problems in the Netherlands (37%), Sweden (36%), and the Czech Republic (35%). In the non-EU countries, there was also a high problem rate in Norway (37%) and Croatia (35%). However, causes for complaint were relatively low in Luxembourg (10%), France (11%), Romania (15%), Belgium (17%), and Malta (17%).

Turning now to the question of whether respondents who experienced problems took action to address them, the data again show substantial country variations. In Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, the UK, and Slovakia 90-92% of people who encountered problems took action to solve them. But only around 61-62% of respondents who had problems took action in Bulgaria and Latvia13.

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

The following analysis looks first at all respondents, and then only at respondents who have encountered problems.

Men are more likely than women (28% vs. 23%) to say that they have encountered a problem. Respondents in the 25-39 age group are the most likely to have experienced a problem (35%), while people aged 55 and above are the least likely (16%). Respondents with a higher level of education (30%) are more likely to say they have had cause for complaint than those who left school at 15 or under (16%).

Knowledge of consumer rights appears to make consumers more likely to identify problems with goods they buy: 28% of people who answered all four of the questions on consumer rights correctly say they had a problem, compared with 19% of respondents who gave no correct answers.

While 86% of 25-39 year-olds who encountered problems took action to address them, only 75% of 15-24 year-olds did so. 87% of people who had made an online purchase took action upon encountering a problem, as opposed to 76% of people who had not made any online purchases. 88% of people who gave four correct answers to the consumer rights questions say that they took action when encountering a problem, whereas more than 70% of people who gave no correct answers did so.

Actions taken when problems are encountered

Respondents who previously said that they had a legitimate cause for complaint regarding goods or services that they had bought were then asked what kind of action they took.14 A large majority (72%) of people in this group say that they complained to the retailer/provider, while 12% say that they took their complaint to the manufacturer. 4% say they complained to a public authority, while 4% say they took the issue to an out-of-court dispute resolution body. A further 2% say they took the matter to court. A sixth of respondents (17%) say that they took no action despite having a legitimate cause for complaint.

Among respondents who say that they experienced a problem, the data show that complaining directly to the retailer/provider is a particularly common approach in Sweden (85%), Slovakia (85%), the Netherlands (84%), and the UK (84%)15. Outside the EU, 85% respondents also took this course of action in Iceland. At the other end of the scale, only 41% of respondents in Greece took their complaint to the retailer/provider, as did 44% in Romania, 47% in Lithuania, and 49% in Latvia.

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

The socio-demographic data show that:

There are no significant gender variations on this question.

Respondents aged 25-39 and 40-54 (75% and 74%, respectively)'are more likely than those aged 55 and over (68%) and those aged 15-24 (65%) to have complained to the retailer/provider.

Individuals who left education later in life are somewhat more likely to have complained to the retailer/provider; while 76% of those who left education aged 20 or over did this, only 69-70% of other respondents did so.

Satisfaction with the way complaints were dealt with

Respondents who made a complaint were then asked how satisfied or dissatisfied they were with the way in which their complaint was handled. Overall, a majority – absolute or relative – of those respondents were satisfied with the way their complaints were dealt with.

Those who complained to the retailer/provider express the most satisfaction: 66% say they were satisfied.

Among respondents who complained to the manufacturer, 59% say they were satisfied with the way their complaint was dealt with. A majority of respondents (57%) who complained to an out-of-court dispute resolution body also express satisfaction. Slightly more than half (51%) of the respondents who took their complaint to court were satisfied.

A relative majority (47%) of those who complained to a public authority were satisfied with the way their problem was handled.

Base: respondents who encountered a problem and complained to the Retailer/provider (n= 4,684), Manufacturer (n= 792), an out-of-court dispute resolution body (ADR) (n= 280), court (n= 102) or Public

authority (n= 288) (in Q11), % EU27

An absolute majority of respondents who took their complaint to the retailer/provider in all but two Member States express satisfaction with the way their complaint was handled. Satisfaction was greatest in Sweden (78%), Finland (77%), Germany (75%), and Slovenia (75%)16. In the non-EU countries, satisfaction was also very high in Norway (77%) and Iceland (75%). The two countries where less than half of the respondents say they were satisfied are Malta (37%) and Spain (48%); satisfaction was also relatively low in Belgium (51%), Luxembourg (52%), and Greece (52%).

Malta has by far the highest proportion of respondents who express dissatisfaction: 63% say they were not satisfied with the way the retailer/supplier handled their complaint, and 70% of those people say they were not at all satisfied. Dissatisfaction was also relatively high in Spain (51%), Belgium (48%), Luxembourg (48%) and Greece (48%), as well as in Croatia (45%). Dissatisfaction was lowest in Sweden (21%), Slovenia (22%), Finland (23%), Germany (24%) and Slovakia (24%), and was also low in Norway (21%) and Iceland (24%).

Main reasons for not complaining about problems encountered

The small proportion (4%) of respondents who said that they had had reason to complain but decided not to take action were then asked their reasons for not complaining.17

Over a third of respondents say that they thought it would take too long (37%, +10 points compared with 2011). Over a third say that the sums involved were too small (37%, -5 points). Over quarter of respondents say that they were unlikely to get a satisfactory solution to their problem (27%, -8 points), while a fifth (19%, +9 points) say that they did not know how or where to complain. Under a fifth (18%, +3 points) say that they were not sure of their rights, and 15% (+4 points) say they had tried to make other complaints in the past without success. 15% (-3 points) also cite ‘other’ reasons.

5.2 Problems with the delivery of online purchases

Respondents who had made at least one online purchase either domestically or in another EU country were asked whether they had experienced certain problems when making their purchase. Just under a third (30%) of respondents say that they experienced a delay in the delivery of a product from a retailer/provider located in their country. This represents a large increase with respect to the 20% of respondents who gave this answer in 2011 and on the 18% who did so in 2006.

Meanwhile, 8% of respondents who made an online purchase domestically say that the item they bought was not delivered at all – an increase with respect to the 5% of respondents who reported this problem in both 2011 and 2006.

Delay in the delivery and non-delivery of goods purchased via the internet in the country

Respondents who have made at least one online purchase in France (41%), Poland (35%) and the Netherlands (34%) are the most likely to have experienced a delay in delivery. At the other end of the scale relatively few consumers have had this problem in Malta (8%), Luxembourg (12%) and Lithuania (12%). Consumers in the UK (11%), France (10%) and Slovakia (10%) are the most likely to say that a product that they ordered was not delivered at all. Only 1% of respondents in Malta and 2% in Cyprus, Portugal, Lithuania and Luxembourg have had this experience.

% EU27 in 2012-201120 **Base: all respondents

Analysis of the results for individuals who have made online purchases from another EU country show that 19% report delivery delays, fewer than the 30% who have experienced delays when buying online from domestic suppliers. However, the 2012 result is an increase on the 13% of respondents who experienced delays in 2011 when they bought products online from another EU country.

6% of respondents say that having made a purchase from a provider in another EU country the item they bought was not delivered at all, fewer than the 8% of people who experienced this problem after buying something online from a domestic retailer. However, the 2012 result marks an increase from the 4% of people who had this problem in 2011.

Under a tenth of all respondents (7%) say that they had wanted to buy a product from a supplier in another EU country, but that the retailer concerned did not deliver or sell to their country.

20 From 2006 to 2011, purchases on the phone and via the post were included

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Younger respondents are more likely to report delivery delays in products bought online from a domestic supplier: 37% of 15-24 year-olds had this problem, though the figure falls to 21% among the 55-and-over age group. They are also more likely to experience delivery delays when ordering from another EU country: 27% of 15-24 year-olds say they had this problem, compared with just 12% of respondents in the oldest age bracket.

Respondents with less knowledge of consumer rights are more likely to report delivery delays when buying goods ordered domestically: 37% of people who gave no correct answers say they experienced delivery delays, but this falls to 28-29% among those who gave three or four correct answers.

Delays in domestic Internet deliveries

In 11 Member States at least a quarter of the respondents who had made an online purchase from a retailer/provider in their own country had experienced delivery delays. The highest instances of delivery delays occurred in France (41%), Poland (35%), the Netherlands (34%) and the UK (33%). However, in Malta only 8% of respondents experienced delays, as did 12% in both Luxembourg and Lithuania, and 15% in Hungary.

In three Member States, at least a tenth of respondents who had made a domestic purchase online report that the item they ordered was not delivered at all. These countries are the UK (11%), Slovakia (10%) and France (10%). In many other countries, the number of people who had this issue was negligible, notably in Malta (1%) and Portugal, Cyprus, Lithuania and Luxembourg (all 2%).

6. UNFAIR COMMERCIAL PRACTICES

6.1 Experience of misleading/deceptive and fraudulent advertisements

Respondents were next asked a series of questions regarding their experiences of various types of advertisements, statements or offers. These were designed to test whether respondents had encountered misleading or deceptive advertisements, and whether they subsequently made purchases based on those advertisements; and whether they had encountered fraudulent advertisements, and bought something on the basis of that information.

Misleading, deceptive or fraudulent advertisements or offers Q19. Have any of the following happened to you in the past 12 months?

Over four out of 10 respondents (44%) say that they have come across misleading or deceptive advertisements, statements or offers, while a majority (54%) say that they have not done so. This is down slightly on the 46% of people who experienced this problem in 2011, though up on the 42% who encountered false advertising in 2008. However, it remains below the 54% level recorded in 2009. Of those who have encountered misleading or deceptive advertising, nearly a quarter (23%) say that they bought something based on the claims made in the advert. This is an increase on the 18% of respondents who had done so in 2011. Three quarters of respondents (77%) did not make a purchase, despite coming across the misleading advert. Nearly a third of all respondents (32%) say that they have come across a fraudulent advertisement, statement or offer in 2012, while two-thirds (67%) have not done so. This is an increase on the 29% who had seen a fraudulent advert in 2011, and on the 27% who had done so in 2008. However, it remains below the 36% level recorded in 2009. Of those who encountered fraudulent advertising, one person in 10 (10%) say that they have bought something based on the advert’s content. This is a relatively large fall from the 18% of respondents who had made a purchase based on fraudulent advertising in 2011.

There are wide national variations in the numbers of respondents who report having encountered misleading or deceptive advertisements. An absolute majority of people have had this problem in 10 Member States, led by Slovakia (69%) the Czech Republic (65%), Cyprus (65%), Hungary (64%) and Bulgaria (60%). However, relatively few people have come across this type of false advertising in the UK (33%), Germany (35%), Sweden (37%), Italy (37%) and Luxembourg (37%).

Experience with misleading or deceptive advertisements, statements or offers

Q19.1 Have any of the following happened to you in the past 12 months? You came across misleading or deceptive advertisements, statements or offers. Misleading or deceptive advertisements are those which contain false information or present factually correct information in a misleading manner about the goods or services on sale

Base: all respondents, % of ‘Yes’ answers by country

While the proportion of respondents who have encountered misleading or deceptive advertising has decreased slightly at EU level since 2011 (from 46% to 44%), not all countries experienced similar decreases. In some cases, there are substantial rises in the number of people who have seen misleading advertisements, notably Cyprus (65%, +17 points), Hungary (64%, +17 points), Latvia (48%, +15 points) and Slovakia (69%, +12 points). The largest falls occurred in the UK (33%, -10 points), Germany (35%, -10 points), Spain (54%, -9 points), the Netherlands (47%, -9 points) and Finland (46%, -9 points).

Base: those who had come across a misleading/fraudulent advertisement (n= 11,225), % by country

In 10 Member States, at least a quarter of people who say they encountered false advertising made a purchase based on the false information. The UK has the highest proportion (42%) of people who made a purchase after seeing this type of advertisement, followed by Ireland (41%), Bulgaria (35%), Cyprus (31%) and Poland (30%). Outside the EU, this was also a relatively frequent occurrence in Croatia (33%).

At the other end of the scale, relatively few people who encounter a misleading advert go on to make a purchase in the Czech Republic (14%), Italy (15%), Denmark (15%), Estonia (16%), and Portugal (16%). Iceland (13%) has the lowest proportion of respondents who did this among all the countries surveyed, within and outside the EU.

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Men are more likely than women to say that they have encountered both misleading or deceptive advertising (48% vs. 40%) and fraudulent advertising (37% vs. 28%). However, women are more likely to make a purchase after seeing both misleading advertising (26% vs. 21%) and fraudulent advertising (12% vs. 9%);

Respondents in the 25-39 age group are the most likely to say that they have encountered both misleading advertising (51%) and fraudulent advertising (36%), while those who left school aged 15 or under are the least likely (32% and 22%);

People who have made at least one online purchase are more likely than those with no online purchasing to say that they have encountered both misleading advertising (49% vs. 38%) and fraudulent advertising (39% vs. 25%). Those who made a cross-border online purchase are also more likely to have seen both a misleading advert (55% vs. 42%) and a fraudulent advert (45% vs. 30%);

Respondents with knowledge of their consumer rights are more likely to say that they have seen a misleading advertisement: 51% of those who gave four correct answers on consumer rights say this, as opposed to 38% of people who gave no correct answers. The pattern is the same in the case of fraudulent advertising (37% vs. 24%).

6.2 Sales channels most likely to convey misleading, deceptive or fraudulent advertisements or offers

All respondents were asked to identify the sales channels in which they are most likely to come across misleading, deceptive or fraudulent advertisements. Answers were not read to the respondents and multiple answers were permitted.

A majority (54%) of respondents say that they are most likely to come across this kind of advertising on the Internet – far more than the 18% of people who mention the phone, which is the next most common answer. 15% of respondents say that the post is the mostly likely source of false or fraudulent advertising, while 14% identify doorstep selling. 5% mention shops, while 22% of respondents cite ‘other’ sources. 16% of people say they ‘don’t know’.

Turning to all respondents, ‘The Internet’ is the most popular answer in all 27 Member States (though in Spain it is equal first with ‘others’). In the Netherlands, 75% of respondents identify the Internet as the most likely source of misleading advertisements, as do 65% in Slovenia and 62% in Finland. 67% of respondents in Norway also give this answer. However, relatively few people see the Internet as the likely source of this kind of material in Bulgaria (31%), Lithuania (39%) and Slovakia (40%). 36% of people in Croatia also give this answer.

The phone is a relatively common answer in Germany (34%), Slovenia (31%) and Poland (24%), though few people regard the phone as a source of misleading advertising in Denmark (7%), Luxembourg (9%), Spain (10%) and the UK (10%).

In Slovenia 36% of respondents consider the post to be the most likely source of misleading advertising, as do 28% in France and 22% in Luxembourg. But elsewhere very few people think of the post as the most likely source, as in Cyprus (4%), Greece (4%), Poland (5%), Denmark (6%) and Malta (6%).

A relatively high number of people think of doorstep selling23 as the most likely source of misleading advertising in Slovenia (35%), Poland (34%), and Estonia (31%), though the same cannot be said in Finland (2%), Spain (2%), and Denmark (3%).

23Across Member states, only Denmark and Luxembourg have general ban on doorstep selling. Belgium has a partial ban though prohibiting doorstep selling for products above 250 €.

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Men are more likely than women to see the Internet as the most likely source of misleading or fraudulent advertising, by a margin of 60% to 48%.

Young people are also more likely to mention the Internet in this context: while 66% of 15-39 year-olds see it as the most likely source of false advertising, only 36% of people aged 55 and over do so.

While 61% of people who left education aged 20 or over regard the Internet as the most likely source of misleading or fraudulent advertising, only 28% of those who left school aged 15 or under do so.

66% of respondents who have made at least one online purchase also mention the Internet, compared with 40% of those who have not made an online purchase.

While 57% of the people who gave four correct answers to the consumer rights questions think of the Internet as the most likely source of misleading advertising, only 43% of those who gave no correct answers agree.

The next two chapters of the report addresses a number of issues related to consumer protection.

Respondents were asked whether it is easy to settle disputes with retailers/providers through an out-of-court body; and whether it is easy to settle disputes with retailers/providers through the courts.

Over four out of 10 respondents (44%) agree that it is easy to settle disputes with retailers/providers via out-of-court bodies; but only around 15% of those people strongly agree. 37% of respondents disagree (a fifth of them strongly), while 19% say they ‘don’t know’ how easy it is to settle disputes out of court.

Over a third of respondents (36%) agree that it is easy to settle disputes in court, though only around 15% of those people strongly agree. 43% disagree (a quarter of them strongly), while 21% say they ‘don’t know’ how easy it is to settle disputes in court.

Looking at the evolution through successive surveys shows that fewer people now agree that it is easy to settle a dispute with a retailer/provider through an out-of-court body: agreement has declined by 8 points since 2011 (from 52% to 44%). However, it remains 2 points above the 42% who agreed in 2006.

Fewer respondents also now agree that it is easy to settle a dispute with a retailer/provider in court. Between 2011 and 2012 there was a 2 point drop in the number of people agreeing with this statement (from 38% to 36%). This is still 4 points above the 2006 level (32%).

In six Member States an absolute majority of respondents agree that it is easy to settle disputes with retailers/providers through an out-of-court body. The level of agreement is highest in Finland (70%), Ireland (56%), Romania (56%) and Luxembourg (55%). However, in Estonia only 24% of respondents think that it is easy to settle disputes with retailers/providers through an out-of-court body; agreement is also relatively low in Italy (29%), the Czech Republic (34%) and Slovenia (35%). In the non-EU countries, Croatia (32%) also registers a low level of agreement.

In most EU countries, there has been a fall since 2011 in the proportion of respondents who agree that it is easy to settle disputes with retailers/providers through an out-of-court body. However, substantial increases were registered in Slovakia (42%, +11 points), Finland (70%, +8 points), and Bulgaria (36%, +6 points).

In most other countries, agreement fell significantly, notably in the UK (50%, -14 points), France (47%, -14 points), Italy (29%, -13 points), Luxembourg (55%, -12 points), and Germany (45%, -12 points).

Since 2006, there has been an increase in 15 EU countries in the number of people who agree that it is easy to settle disputes with retailers/providers through an out-of-court body. The level of agreement declined in 10 Member States. The largest positive evolutions since 2006 have occurred in, Latvia (47%, +25 points), Slovakia (42%, +25 points) and Spain (40%, +23 points), The most substantial falls have been recorded in Sweden (39%, -13 points), Cyprus (50%, -11 points), Italy (29%, -10 points), and Germany (45%, -8 points).

Luxembourg (50%) is the only Member State where a majority of respondents agree that it is easy to settle disputes with retailers/providers in court. The level of agreement is also relatively high in Ireland (47%), Romania (47%) and the UK (46%). In Estonia (13%) agreement is very low on this question; it is also relatively low in Italy (24%), Slovenia (26%), and, outside the EU, in Croatia (26%).

There is no clear pattern to the country-level changes that have occurred since 2011 on this question, where both increases and decreases have occurred. The most substantial rises in the number of people who think it is easy to settle a dispute in court were recorded in Slovenia (26%, +16 points), Cyprus (42%, +10 points), Hungary (29%, +7 points) and Malta (29%, +7 points). The biggest declines were registered in Austria (38%, -9 points), France (44%, -8 points) and Germany (38%, -8 points).

Since 2006, 19 EU countries have seen a rise in the number of people who agree that it is easy to settle disputes with retailers/providers in court.

Agreement has declined in six Member States. The largest positive evolution since 2006 occurred in Luxembourg (50%, +23 points).

The largest declines were observed in Greece (40%, - 11 points), Sweden (29%, -7 points), Italy (24%, -7 points) and Estonia (13%, -6 points)

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

The socio-demographic variations show similar patterns as for the previous consumer protections indicators:

People aged 15-24 are more likely to think it is easy to settle disputes being it through an out of court body (54%) or through the courts (47%) than respondents aged 55 and over (41% and 31% respectively).

Those who fell adequately protected by existing measures to protect consumers are also more inclined to think it is easy to settle disputes than those who don’t feel protected. 53% of those feeling protected think it is easy to settle disputes with retailers and providers through an out of court body compared with 34% among those not feeling adequately protected.

8. THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA Respondents were then asked about the possible impact of media stories on their consumer behaviour.

Just under half of all respondents (48%) say that they have changed their consumer behaviour as a result of a media story, and nearly a third of the people who say this strongly agree. But half (50%) of the respondents disagree, around 40% of them strongly.

The results show a jump in the number of people who agree that they have altered their consumer behaviour as the result of a media story, with an increase of 7 points since 2011 (from 41% to 48%). Agreement with this question has risen every year since 2009, when it was first asked; it has now increased by 9 points (up from 39%).

9. PERCEPTIONS OF PRODUCT SAFETY

The next chapter looks at the confidence of EU consumers in product safety, in terms of both food and non-food items.

All respondents were asked two questions about their impressions of product safety, the first pertaining to non-food items, and the second to food items.

The mainstream European view is that a small number of products are unsafe, in the case of both non-food products (55%) and food products (56%). However, while 17% of respondents think that essentially all food products are safe, only 12% say the same of non-food products.

Over a quarter of respondents (27%) say that a significant number of non-food products are unsafe, while just under a quarter (24%) think that a significant number of food products are unsafe.

113

The number of respondents who think that a significant number of non-food products are unsafe (27%) has increased by 2 points since 2011, and by 9 points since 2008. The proportion who think that essentially all non-food products are safe has remained unchanged at 12% since 2011; this is 5 points lower than the 17% of people who gave this answer in 2008. The steady increase in the number of people saying that a small number of non-food products are unsafe recorded in the previous waves of the survey has now ceased. Between 2008 and 2011 the number of people giving this answer rose sequentially from 48% to 56%; but in 2012 it dropped back slightly to 55%.

Greece (50%) has the highest number of respondents who feel that a significant number of non-food products are unsafe, followed by Romania (48%), Cyprus (36%) and Italy (35%). Relatively few people think that a significant number of non-food products are unsafe in Finland (7%), the UK (8%), Estonia (9%) and the Netherlands (9%).

Ireland (26%), Luxembourg (25%), and the UK (24%) have the most people among the EU countries who think that essentially all non-food products are safe. Norway (27%) has the highest proportion of respondents overall, within and outside the EU, who regard all non-food products as essentially safe. However, in Greece only 4% of people share this view, as do relatively few respondents in Latvia (5%), and Romania (6%).

An absolute majority of people in all but five EU countries think that a small number of non-food products are unsafe. This view is most common in Finland (70%), the Czech Republic (68%), and the Netherlands (67%). However, only 40% of people in Greece agree, as do 42% in Romania and 47% in Estonia.

Most countries have experienced increases since 2011 in terms of the number of people who say that a significant number of non-food products are unsafe. In some cases these evolutions are quite pronounced, as in Cyprus (36%, +16 points), Germany (31%, +7 points) and Austria (20%, +7 points). The largest falls are seen in Portugal (29%, -6 points) and Spain (30%, -4 points).

Since 2008, only three EU countries – Slovakia, Denmark and Estonia – have experienced declines in terms of the number of people who say that a significant number of non-food products are unsafe, and those decreases were all negligible. However, there were a number of relatively large increases, notably in Spain (30%, +21 points), Germany (31%, +15 points), and Sweden (29%, +14 points).

Base: all respondents, % by country

Since 2011, several countries have witnessed relatively minor increases in the number of people who feel that essentially all non-food products are safe, with the largest rises occurring in Belgium (21%, +4 points), and Portugal (16%, +4 points). Denmark (18%, -4 points) is the only country where the number of people giving this answer fell by more than a couple of percentage points.

Most EU countries have registered relatively minor changes on this question since 2008. Cyprus (9%, +7 points), Hungary (14%, +5 points) and the Netherlands (20%, +5 points) are the countries that recorded an increase of more than a couple of percentage points. However, relatively large declines were seen is several countries, notably Spain (13%, -14 points), Germany (9%, -10 points), and Malta (14%, -9 points).

Since 2008, most EU countries have registered increases in terms of the number of people who say that a small number of non-food products are unsafe. Substantial increases in the number of people who think this have taken place in the Netherlands (67%, +25 points), Bulgaria (61%, +19 points), Austria (63%, +17 points) and Germany (56%, +15 points). However, eight Member States recorded declines, with the largest falls occurring in Greece (40%, -12 points), Cyprus (49%, -11 points), and Sweden (52%, -10 points).

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

On the socio-demographic variations it is possible to make some observations:

Men are somewhat more likely than women, by a margin of 19% to 15%, to think that essentially all food products are safe. Women are more likely than men to feel that a significant number of food products are unsafe (28% vs. 22%).

Younger respondents are the most likely to think that essentially all food products are safe: 21% of 15-24 years-olds say this, compared with only 15% of people aged 55 and over. Older respondents are the most likely to say that a significant number of food products are unsafe (26% vs. 20% of 15-24 year-olds).

10. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND PURCHASING DECISIONS

The next chapter addresses the issue of whether purchasing decisions are influenced by the environmental impact of a product or service.

Does a product’s environmental impact influence consumers’ purchasing decisions?

Base: all respondents, % EU27

All respondents were asked to consider everything they had bought during the previous two weeks, and to say whether the environmental impact of those items had influenced their choices. Four out of 10 people (41%) say that the environmental impact of a product or service did indeed influence their purchasing decisions – a substantial increase on the 29% of people who have this answer in 201124. A majority (57%) say that the environmental impact had no influence on their decision, down from 69% in 2011.

24 Please note that in 2011 the question was slightly different: "Q18 Considering everything you bought last week, did the environmental impact of any product or service influence your choice?" In this year question, the time frame refers to the "last 2 weeks".

Does a product’s environmental impact influence consumers’ purchasing decisions: evolution

Q4. Considering everything you bought during the last two weeks, did the environmental impact of

any goods or services influence your choice?

Base: all respondents, % of ‘Yes’ answers by country

In two Member States an absolute majority of respondents say that the environmental impact of goods and services influenced their purchasing decisions: Greece (55%) and Sweden (53%). Just under half also say they were influenced by environmental considerations in Luxembourg and Austria (49%). But elsewhere in the EU, the environment had much lower impact on people’s purchasing patterns, notably in Estonia (25%), Lithuania (28%), Spain (33%) and the UK (34%).

Nonetheless, it is worth noting that every individual country has seen an increase in the number of respondents who state to be influenced by environmental considerations for their purchasing decisions. The most substantial changes occurred in Portugal (44%, +20 percentage points), the Czech Republic (40%, +17), Slovakia (40%, +17), Bulgaria (35%, +16), Malta (46%,+16) and Poland (44%, +16). However, the increase in environmentally-conscious purchases may be (at least partly) due to the longer time frame in 2012 (2 weeks rather than 1 week).

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Women are more likely than men to say the environmental impact of goods and services influenced their purchasing decisions, by a margin of 44% to 38%;

Respondents in the 25-39 and 40-54 age range (45% and 44% respectively) are more likely to consider environmental impact than younger (34%) or older (38%) people;

While 48% of people who left education "aged 20 or over" are influenced by the environmental impact of what they buy, only 30% of those who left school "aged 15 or under" are influenced by these factors;

People with extensive knowledge of consumer rights are also more likely to say that the possible environmental impact influenced their purchasing decisions: 45% of those who gave four correct answers to the consumer rights questions say they have been influenced by environmental considerations, compared with 34% of those who gave no correct answers.

Q5.1 Where did you get the information on the environmental impact of the goods or services you bought?

Base: respondents who say that the environmental impact of any goods or services influenced their choices (n=10,392), % by country

In all but six EU countries an absolute majority of respondents say that they got the information through an environmental label. More people give this answer than ‘through advertisements or offers’ in all but four Member States. The highest proportion of people who got their information through environmental labels are found in Sweden (77%), Denmark (71%), Poland (67%) and the UK (66%). However, relatively few people obtained their information this way in Slovenia (39%), Cyprus (43%), Greece (47%) and Luxembourg (48%).

In just four EU countries an absolute majority of respondents say that they obtained their information through advertisements or offers – Slovenia (62%), Luxembourg (53%), Latvia (52%) and Malta (51%) – but this was a relatively uncommon information source in Sweden (15%), Estonia (20%), Denmark (26%) and Poland (28%).

However, other sources of information are spontaneously mentioned by at least a third of respondents in Estonia (40%), the Netherlands (37%) as well as in Greece (33%)

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Women are slightly more likely than men, by a margin of 62% to 57%, to say that they got their information through an environmental label.

Individuals who left education "aged 20 or over" are more likely to say that they obtained information from product labels than those who finished school before the age of 16 (62% vs. 49%). However, respondents with a low level of education are more likely than the most educated to be informed by advertisements or offers (49% vs. 30%).

Reasons for not being influenced by the environmental impact of goods or services

Base: respondents who say that the environmental impact of any goods or services did not influence their choices (n=14,532), % EU27

Next, respondents who said that the environmental impact of the goods or services they bought did not influence their choices were asked to say more about why they did not take environmental considerations into account.26

The most common explanation, given by 38% of respondents, is that they had not come across any information about the environmental impact of the goods or services. Meanwhile, a third (33%) say that environmentally-friendly goods and services are too expensive. One person in four (25%) says that they do not trust environmental claims, while 14% say that they are not interested in the environmental impact of goods and services. 6% spontaneously give ‘other’ reasons, while a further 6% say spontaneously that there was no reason for their decision.

26 Multiple answers were permitted.

Q5.2 Could you say why the environmental impact of the goods or services you bought did not influence your choice?

Base: respondents who say that the environmental impact of any goods or services did not influence their choices (n=14,532), % EU27

Not having come across any information about the environmental impact of goods or services is the most common answer given in 16 EU countries. It is especially widespread in Spain (51%), the UK (49%), Ireland (47%) and the Czech Republic (46%). However, relatively few people give this reason in Estonia (18%), Hungary (24%), Sweden (25%) and Denmark (25%).

In 10 countries respondents are more likely to say that environmentally-friendly goods and services are too expensive than that they simply did not come across any information. An absolute majority of people in the UK (51%) think so; followed by Greece and Latvia (both 42%), and France and Romania (both 40%). However, cost is mentioned by considerably fewer people in Finland (19%), Lithuania (20%) and Cyprus (21%), and, in the non-EU countries, by just 12% of people in Norway and 14% in Iceland.

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Women are more likely than men, by a margin of 38% to 28%, to say that they find environmentally friendly goods or services too expensive. Men tend more to say that they do not trust environmental claims than women (27% vs. 22%).

The younger the respondents are the more likely to say that did not come across any information about the environmental impact of goods or services. Indeed, nearly half of the respondents aged 15-24 answered that (47%) whereas they were only 31% of those aged 55 or more. Younger respondents are less likely to answer that they do not trust environmental claims than older respondents. The first reason mentioned by older respondents (aged 55 or more) is that they find environmentally-friendly products too expensive (33%).

Individuals who left education aged 20 or over are more likely to say that they did not come across any information about the environmental impact of goods or services than those who stopped education before the age of 16 (40% vs. 32%). Respondents who stopped education before the age of 16 tend more to mention that environmentally-friendly goods or services than those who left education aged 20 or over (38% vs. 28%). This is the first reason mentioned by this group of respondents.

FLASH EUROBAROMETER 358 “Consumer attitudes towards cross-border trade and consumer protection”

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Between the 12 and the 17 of September 2012, TNS Political & Social, a consortium created between TNS political & social, TNS UK and TNS opinion, carried out the survey FLASH EUROBAROMETER 358 about “Consumer attitudes towards cross-border trade and consumer protection”. This survey has been requested by the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General for Health and Consumers. It is a general public survey co-ordinated by the Directorate-General for Communication (“Research and Speechwriting” Unit). The FLASH EUROBAROMETER 358 covers the population of the respective nationalities of the European Union Member States, resident in each of the 27 Member States and aged 15 years and over. The FLASH EUROBAROMETER 358 survey has also been conducted in Croatia, Iceland, and Norway. In these countries, the survey covers the national population of citizens and the population of citizens of all the European Union Member States that are residents in these countries and have a sufficient command of the national languages to answer the questionnaire. All interviews were carried using the TNS e-Call center (our centralized CATI system). In every country respondents were called both on fixed lines and mobile phones. The basic sample design applied in all states is multi-stage random (probability). In each household, the respondent was drawn at random following the "last birthday rule". TNS has developed its own RDD sample generation capabilities based on using contact telephone numbers from responders to random probability or random location face to face surveys, such as Eurobarometer, as seed numbers. The approach works because the seed number identifies a working block of telephone numbers and reduces the volume of numbers generated that will be ineffective. The seed numbers are stratified by NUTS2 region and urbanisation to approximate a geographically representative sample. From each seed number the required sample of numbers are generated by randomly replacing the last two digits. The sample is then screened against business databases in order to exclude as many of these numbers as possible before going into field. This approach is consistent across all countries.
