What ‘EC-REACT’ is for?
The goal of EC-REACT is to support the good functioning of the representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers as set up by Directive (EU) 2020/1828. ‘EC- REACT’ allows:
- EU Member States to notify to the European Commission services the qualified entities designated to initiate cross-border representative actions;
- The European Commission services to consolidate and publish the EU list of notified qualified entities enabled to initiate cross-border representative actions;
- EU Member States and the European Commission services to cooperate as regards the compliance by qualified entities with their designation criteria as set out by Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2020/1828, and as regards other aspects of the functioning of the representative actions;
- Qualified entities designated to initiate domestic and cross-border representative actions to cooperate on their activities as foreseen by the Directive;
- Members of the judiciary of EU Member States and their administrative authorities to cooperate for the good functioning of representative actions across the EU;
- EU Member States to submit reports on the functioning of the representative actions to the European Commission services and the Commission services to consolidate this information into EU reports, pursuant to Article 23 of the same Directive.
