lpv:translated text	". Hardly anyone knows what the subject of real estate timesharing is actually about. This proposal provides for measures in order to prevent fraud and deception. People are under the illusion that they can buy a holiday home cheaply for the exact period they want to take their holidays. Other holidaymakers own the home during other weeks of the year. Since in many cases, this involves a residence in an area with a different language, other customs and legislation different from the country of origin, there is plenty of scope for misunderstandings. Much worse is that it also leaves the field wide open for misleading the buying public. Since, due to their long-term absence, they cannot manage the holiday home themselves; somebody has to do it for them. This is the seller, who, in fact, remains the owner. The buyers become disappointed because they have to pay a large sum of money for which they apparently receive few rights in return. Ultimately, they end up with a property which is not suitable for their purposes and which they cannot sell on to anyone else. It is precisely against this cross-border fraud that measures that are the same across different European countries are needed. Even opponents of centralist and interfering EU legislation, such as myself, believe this to be a useful form of consumer protection."@en1
