The concept of the informed consumer is a fundamental one in the law of the European Union . Since the general Resolution of 1975, one of the primary objectives of the European Community , and then the European Union , has been the provision of information to consumers. The rationale is that market actors who are informed have a greater capacity to understand the importance of their market actions and choices, and are enabled in making better choices. ref cite book title Capital Markets in the Age of the Euro editor Guido Ferrarini, Klaus J.

Refimprove date October 2007 Consumer to business C2B is a business model in which consumers individuals create value, and firms consume this value. For example, when a consumer writes reviews, or when a consumers gives a useful idea for new product development, then this individual is creating value to the firm, if the firm adopts the input. Excepted concepts are crowd sourcing and co creation. Another form of C2B is the electronic commerce business model, in which consumers can offer products and services to companies and the companies pay them. This business model is a complete reversal of traditional business model where companies offer goods and services to consumers business to consumer B2C . We can see this example in blogs or internet forums where the author offers a link back to an online business facilitating the purchase of some product like a book on Amazon.com , and the author might receive affiliate revenue from a successful sale. . This kind of economic relationship is qualified as an inverted business type. The advent of the C2B scheme is due to major changes Connecting a large group of people to a bidirectional network has made this sort of commercial relationship possible.

Consumer Direct is a Her Majesty s Government Government funded call centre providing basic consumer advice in the United Kingdom . Information is also provided on their website see below . The intention is to make such basic advice available to everyone regardless of the area in which they live. Previously, provision of consumer advice services varied, with some local Councils operating extensive services with several staff and others relying on other local advice services such as the Citizens Advice Bureau . The service operates via a standardised national telephone number currently 08454 04 05 06 and by e mail. Simpler complaints are dealt with directly more complex matters that may require direct intervention or indicate some criminality will be passed on to the relevant organisation usually the relevant local Trading Standards office as a referral. The website also provides a number of advice sheets. Trading Standards offices are notified of all complaints relating to a trader based in their area. It is expected that this will assist in identifying problem traders more quickly. Data is transmitted on a secure network using a standardised xml format which assists automated uploading of the information into local databases and eventually into the proposed eTSN electronic Trading Standards Network . Abolition The future of Consumer Direct is under review due to the coalition government s spending review and its functions may be returned to local Trading Standards departments and Citizens Advice bureau.
