From Strasbourg to Basildon

A very helpful meeting with our most recent TSI Vice President Malcolm Harbour MEP today. From his vantage point as Chairman of the European Parliament Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee we talked around a range of matters ranging from consumer product safety to commercial practices to the Services directive and through to improving the resilience of business between Europe, China and the USA.

TSI delivers the UK European Consumer Centre and the equivalent for Services and we look forward to inviting Malcolm to see more of our good work in helping consumers via our contact centres and web services at our TSI head office in Basildon.

We are fortunate at TSI in having so many advocates and supporters not only in the UK Parliaments but also in Strasbourg and Brussels. I think they all recognise TSI and trading standards as a genuine force for the good and lend their help and always wise counsel in a very encouraging way. We shall see some of this on Thursday of this week when we take a TSI roadshow into the Westminster Parliament and illustrate to MPs and Peers the fantastic work that my trading standards colleagues around the country do for people, businesses and communities.
