What happens to @alexstubb currently happens to many consumers across the EU. They are surprised by additional customs fees. According to EU consumer law though, these costs must be indicated on the seller's website. Time to enforce the rules.

Bought two bicycle saddles online. Did not notice they would be shipped from the UK. Cost of the saddles 400 euros. Cost of customs fees 127 euros. Time spent sorting it out 60 minutes. Reminder why it is great that the EU is a customs union and we avoid this cost and hassle.

Spannende Untersuchung des @forfinancewatch Mitglieds @DezernatZ Welchen Nutzen hinsichtlich Arbeitsplatzsicherung entfalten eigentlich verschiedene Wirtschaftssubventionen?
Florian Schuster-Johnson@fl_schuster

Paper 🚨: Wie effizient sind die 60 Mrd. Unternehmenssubventionen im #Bundeshaushalt? Gute Frage, die die BReg jeweils neu beantworten sollte. Bislang fehlt dafür ein Indikator. Wir haben einen gebastelt und messen damit bang for the buck im Haushalt. 🧵/1 dezernatzukunft.org/bang-for-the-b…

Das Ergebnis: Subventionen, die den Status quo der Wirtschaft zu zementieren versuchen (Strompreise, Branchenhilfen für Auto etc.), sind ziemlich ineffizient: hohe Kosten, wenig Jobeffekte. Günstiger sind Innovationsförderung und Dekarbonisierungszuschüsse. /4

Ahead of my mission to China 🇨🇳 this week, I spoke with @tconnellyRTE from @rtenews about the need to strengthen our cooperation on consumer protection & product safety. Our motto is simple: quality must always be prioritised over quantity. Article👇 rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

We’ve just published a new report, based on our annual economics conference. It distils the big policy debates on the European economy post-Draghi, drawing on the brainpower around the table. Some journalist friends convinced me it’s worth sharing — so here’s a thread. 1/x

Do your research. (Or ask your AI to do it.) The CFPB has returned almost $20 billion to consumers from wrongdoing banks and financial corporations. CFPB is a model of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

@dorajfacundo @pmarca Delete CFPB. There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies.

Happy to see that Consumer Protection is now part of your title. 440 million consumers in the EU deserve this. Looking forward to advancing consumer policy with you and your team!

Nearly 3 billion people face water scarcity today. Our final report of the Global Commission on the Economics of Water @watercommongood shows how weak economics focused on fixing markets instead of shaping economies, combined with destructive land use practices, have put the global water cycle under unprecedented stress. Time for a new approach ➡️ watercommission.org #EconomicsOfWater
