The United Kingdom plans to exit the EU. Up until that date, all EU law, including common provisions on consumer protection, will remain in force and applied also in the UK. If the UK and EU cannot reach an deal on the terms of Brexit, EU agreements will cease to be effective in the UK. Brexit can also be delayed.
The information package has been prepared by the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) in collaboration with the European Consumer Centre Finland to explain the rights of Finnish consumers, particularly in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Even at this late stage, there is much uncertainty about Brexit and the situation is constantly shifting. The information will be updated as new details emerge.
