Title: Study on Civil Security R&D; in major third countries (SER3CO) : Final Report, within the Framework Contract of Security Studies ENTR/09/050 |
---|
Abstract Policy attention to the security industry increased substantially after the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on September 11th, 2001. With an increased demand for security, the global security market grew a tenfold to around 100 billion in 2011. Many studies expect that growth of the worldwide security market will continue to exceed the growth rate of world GDP.In summer 2012 the European Commission launched an action plan for an innovative and competitive security industry to enhance growth and increase employment in the EUs security industry. Better understanding of the main competitive strengths and weaknesses of the security industries in the EU and in major other countries should facilitate the development of policy measures to generate a business environment that enables the EU security industry to keep its leading position.One of the main problems in the EU security market identified by the Commission is its fragmentation along national and sometimes even regional boundaries. One of the first steps to address this problem the Commission proposes is to set up an EU-wide certification system for airport screening (detection) equipment and for alarm systems 3. Insight in costs and benefits of harmonized certification schemes will provide essential information for establishing such schemes at the EU level....The study has been executed by a team of specialists from the framework consortium partners ECORYS, DECISION and TNO, in collaboration with associated partners FOI (Sweden), HCSS (the Netherlands) and PLANCONSULT (Austria). The latter were invited for their access to sources and contacts in respective countries.[Author vide copyright] |

Abstract This study on the functioning of retail electricity markets for consumers in the EU is the follow up to the first market study conducted in 2009/2010, and published by the European Commission in 2010. The objectives of the current study are to investigate if a well-functioning electricity market is in place for consumers in the EU and assess how the performance of retail electricity markets for consumers has developed since the first market study. The study also examines the extent to which consumers are able to make informed and empowered choices and what motivates their behaviour in the electricity market.The study covers all EU Member States, Iceland and Norway. Between July 2014 and October 2015, the following activities were carried out: consultations with national stakeholders (energy regulators, consumer associations, Alternative Dispute Resolution entities active in the retail energy sector, electricity associations, enforcement bodies and company mediators); a consumer survey measuring consumers awareness, attitudes and experiences with electricity services; a behavioural experiment consisting of a stay or switch exercise and a comprehension test of bills and marketing material; a mystery shopping exercise replicating consumers experiences in four areas (questions about billing, finding a cheaper tariff, information available on switching and complaint handling and green tariffs and efficient energy use); and, a price collection exercise compiling and analysing a comprehensive and representative sample of electricity prices offered to household consumers.[Author vide copyright] |

Abstract The key objective of this multi-method, exploratory study was to investigate advertising and marketing practices in online social media (OSM) from the perspective of consumer behaviour and consumer protection. It aimed to identify and assess commercial practices in the context of OSM that could be potentially unfair or misleading for consumers. Furthermore, the study aimed to investigate the factors that contribute to their prevalence, and to identify and assess potential remedies to these problematic commercial practices. |
