The Financial Ombudsmen for Ireland and Poland, Mr Ger Deering and prof. Mariusz Golecki declared their cooperation to strengthen consumer protection in the financial market.
– The specialised office of the Financial Ombudsman plays a significant role, which is to protect the legally weaker participants in the financial market. In Ireland as in Poland, and indeed across Europe, there are more and more pitfalls for customers of financial institutions. Insurance and credit agreements are complicated, with more and more provisions in the small print that can get customers into trouble for years to come – said Gerd Deering, Ireland’s Financial Ombudsman. – We have to solve many problems which have accumulated over the years – declares the guest of the 30th Economic Forum in Karpacz.
– Ireland has a very strong track record in protecting non-professional financial market participants. The Financial Ombudsman has adequate tools to protect customers effectively – admits prof. Mariusz Golecki, Financial Ombudsman in Poland. – Our cooperation will be multidimensional, as many of our compatriots live in Ireland and often turn to the Financial Ombudsman there with requests for help.
