Established in 1998, the Transatlantic Consumer Dialogue (TACD) is a forum of U.S. and EU consumer organisations which develops and agrees on joint consumer policy recommendations to the US government and European Union to promote the consumer interest in EU and US policy making. TACD provides a formal mechanism for EU and U.S. consumer representatives to input to EU and U.S. political negotiations and agreements as well as explore ways of strengthening the EU and U.S. consumer view at the international level.

TACD champions the consumer perspective in transatlantic decision making. It is our mission to ensure that EU/U.S. policy dialogue promotes consumer welfare on both sides of the Atlantic and is well informed about the implications of policy decisions on consumers.
