Asso-Consum has recently been involved in initiatives of national significance: namely, the negotiations with Costa Crociere on compensation for the Concordia passengers, the presentation of the referendum on abolishing the reimbursement of political parties' election expenses and the class action against the Banca di Campania in respect of commission charged on highest debit balances.
