"FORO PERMANENTE" ANCHE IN ITALIA
I consumatori saranno sempre più informati e tutelati. E' nato, infatti, il Foro Permanente, un network europeo tra associazioni, esperti e professionisti nel campo della tutela dei consumatori. Il progetto è organizzato in Italia dall'Associazione Consumatori Piemonte, nell'ambito delle iniziative finanziate dalla Commissione Europea. Foro Permanente vuole essere uno strumento di confronto e dibattito sui temi di maggior interesse economico e giuridico.

In many countries commissions or banking expenses are not regulated!: It is necessary to make a survey on the expenses that consumers support by the use of financial services and products and develop some control regulations of these expenses that in some countries become excessive.

In the name of the free market some financial entities reach to change the normative of other countries to allow the entrance of their products which were not commercializated before in that country: we should study these measures to see how could affect this to European consumers.
