Abstract The ambivalence of globalization determines the consumer to comply with the legislation of the nation state as well as the UE legislation through the norms of the European Parliament regarding the rights of the European consumer, the labelling in the energetic field and the European Book of the consumer of energy. The consumers have the essential information that are to allow the attaining of objectives referring to the hedging of vulnerable citizens, less red tape, changing of the supplier, more information but also consumers’ hedging against the selling practices of non-loyal selling practices. The main objectives of the article aim at outlining the main theoretical methodological delimitations and those conceptual like regarding the rights of the consumers in the energetic domain. The analysis of the attitude that most of great European suppliers of energy have towards the consumers comes to back the study by fostering the idea that transnational companies are the basic pillars of globalization. The final conclusions outline the fact that if we will avoid globalization we will dodge evolution.
