# Decision No 1578/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2007 on the Community Statistical Programme 2008 to 2012 (Text with EEA relevance), Division: Legal framework

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Consumer policy has achieved a much higher profile during recent years (Article 153 of the EC Treaty). Eurostat work will rely on the Health and Consumer Protection Strategy and on the proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a Programme of Community action in the field of Health and Consumer protection 2007-2013, adopted by the Commission in April 2005.
The broad field of ‘consumer protection’ is split into two main areas: ‘consumer affairs’ and ‘food safety’.
