Abstract
This contribution is focused on the gaps which exist between regulation and its practical effects. It does refer to the possible implications of the Maastricht Treaty on future EC consumer policy but is not at all limited to this aspect of the issue. The goal is rather to shed some light on the practical difficulties encountered by consumer representatives in the adoption of EC consumer policy initiatives, in contrast to the more theoretical approach adopted by some other contributors to this issue. It also refers to some of the positive developments which have taken place, as a response to consumer activism, within the EC.
