These networks enable EEC and
EEJ-Net to resolve individual problems for CAB clients and gather evidence which is used to lobby for change where legislation is failing consumers.

EEJ-NET because the financial services sector is the only area where out-of-court settlement mechanisms already exist throughout the EU.--
If a case concerns misapplication of internal market =rules, non-legal options include SOLVIT, the European Extra-judicial =network (
EEJ-Net) and FIN-NET (for financial services).
The MEPs want better co-ordination of all involved parties in
EEJ-Net, which was launched by the Commission in May 2000, and more involvement from the European Parliament.
