This hybrid concept emerged in the 1990s with the New Labour Movement in the setting of the liberalization and privatization of public infrastructures to refer to the consumption of public goods and services. The notion of “citizen-consumer” recently reappeared in the literature on smart cities as public bodies collaborate closely with private actors to offer more responsive, efficient, and data-driven public services to their residents and visitors. In this modern form of privatization, public bodies treat citizens as consumers of data-driven services. In this article, I argue that treating citizens as consumers can be problematic for four reasons: (i) citizenship and consumer protection have different political and economic foundations; (ii) it relies on the heavy collection of personal data by both public bodies and private companies; (iii) it assumes—often incorrectly—that citizen-consumers in cities have choices and can refuse to give their consent to the data collection underlying the provision of smart public services; (iv) it excludes citizens who are less tech-savvy, do not fit in the vision of smart cities or wish to remain offline. Drawing on an interdisciplinary analysis of the literature on the liberalization of public services, smart cities and consumer protection, this article aims to contribute to the legal literature by shedding new light on the concept of “citizen-consumer” and its implications for the inclusiveness of public services.","PeriodicalId":15724,"journal":{"name":"Journal of European Consumer and Market Law","volume":"30 1","pages":"154-161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81565449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the importance of the right to effective judicial protection is widely acknowledged, there is confusion and even controversy about its actual implications for national civil courts. This article revolves around the question how and why Article 47 may be referred to in European private law adjudication. It aims to shed light on the main characteristics and constraints of Article 47 Charter by analysing the case law of the CJEU concerning national remedies and procedures under Directive 93/13/EEC. Four key judgments of the CJEU are discussed. So far, the CJEU seems reluctant to accept the potential of Article 47 as a weighty source for interpreting national law, let alone for setting it aside or filling gaps in the enforcement and protection of EU rights at the national level. Yet Article 47 could shift the focus from the effective enforcement of EU law towards individual rights protection. As such, it may provide a valuable instrument for national civil courts in cases covering (aspects of) EU law.","PeriodicalId":15724,"journal":{"name":"Journal of European Consumer and Market Law","volume":"65 1","pages":"190-198"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85614893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
