Last update

Some consumers and businesses are reluctant to use foreign service providers as they are unaware of the requirements that foreign service providers must meet in their country of origin.

In order to properly inform and enable them to compare service offers on EU level, Luxembourg provides assistance in gathering information on these topics.

Resident businesses and consumers may obtain information from the following Luxembourg bodies and administrations:

Who is concerned

Each resident Luxembourg business or consumer planning to use foreign service providers may collect information from these bodies.

  • possible means of recourse in the event of a dispute between the supplier and the recipient of the services;
  • the contact details for associations or organisations providing assistance in the Member State of the service provider.
