- The association unveiled a free complaints tool called Que Choisir Réclamations that lets consumers message companies directly using a database of more than 250 firms across finance, transport and telecoms.
- Board changes set for June after the annual meeting will add subscriber, regional union and outside expert seats, with new term limits that cap a presidency at six years.
