Service sector is a key factor in the sustainable transformation process of national economies. As it is spreading among many industries, it is crucial to tailor effective regulations to either encourage the sector to cut waste and emissions or to ban certain activities to achieve reduction targets. The role of the consumers regulations in sustainable transition is to: protect the weakest (consumer or end user) against false claims, redirect capital flows and investments towards truly sustainable undertakings, strengthen consumers' position towards service providers, or to prohibit certain practices. The chapter will focus on aspects that should be taken under consideration while defining sustainability in the service sector and how certain European regulations will impact consumers' rights and behaviors.(fragment of text)
