lpv:translated text	". Mr President, strengthening consumer confidence is indeed essential to the development of the internal market, as you, Commissioner, have pointed out. Yet that confidence is based on consumers’ ability to conclude, without incurring any legal or economic risk, all kinds of commercial transactions, in particular by means of new electronic trading procedures. The systems for preventing and penalising infringements of consumer laws currently in force in Member States generally function in the context of national markets, but are unsuitable for use at Community level. This deficiency obviously works to the advantage of unscrupulous operators, to the detriment of consumers and honest traders. We can, therefore, only welcome the Commission’s initiative, which consists in setting up a network of authorities which are able to cooperate with one another in order to rid the internal market of dubious practices, although I, for one, would have preferred us to opt for a network that would be completely public in nature, along the lines of the committee’s original proposal. Bearing in mind the need to take into account the diversity of Community practices and the urgent need to make this instrument available, however, I believe it is reasonable to adopt the compromise which has been achieved, in particular thanks to the work of our rapporteur. I would therefore like to express the hope that a real spirit of mutual assistance will prevail in the cooperation between Member States."@en1
