Estimated breakdown of the single market programme elements

The current consumer programme is discontinued under the MFF 2020-2027 proposal. Consumer protection actions are instead included in a new single market programme, under Heading 1: Single market, innovation and digital. The new programme seeks to consolidate a range of activities previously financed separately. It bundles together 17 programmes and actions financed by the current MFF, two new initiatives and eight commitments undertaken by the Commission in the meantime, including the new deal for consumers, reform of market surveillance and a new framework for type approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles. The Commission says bringing all of these areas into one programme would minimise overlaps, encourage synergies and improve cooperation.
