EASA Euro Ad Alerts are aimed at practitioners, relevant government and consumer organisations concerning cross-border advertisements demonstrating sharp and extremely misleading practices. They provide updates on companies endorsing such practices and provide advice to consumers and companies who have been misled.

A study by the Policy Department of the European Parliament on the misleading practices of directory companies was published in May 2008. The study was requested by the European Parliament's Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) and looks at the problem posed by misleading directory companies and how the legal framework deals with the issue.
