lpv:translated text	". The aim of the Green Paper on Consumer Protection in the European Union was to define a framework directive to offset the negative aspects of business-consumer relations, namely unfair business practice. The Green Paper acknowledges the importance of self-regulation of the main operators through codes of conduct. This is, accordingly, a further directive forming part of the consumer protection package based on broader objectives that are intended to safeguard consumer confidence and to promote transnational and European business transactions. Accordingly, the intention is, once again, to harmonise the internal market, by establishing Community legislation in the area of unfair business practice. Nevertheless, this proposal for a directive, amended by Parliament, aims to improve the rights of consumers who have been the victims of unfair practice, provides a clause that establishes a general prohibition of unfair commercial practices, clarifies the definition of such practices, broadens the range of practices covered, provides stronger measures to protect consumers deemed vulnerable, such as children and the elderly, and involves consumers’ organisations more closely in drafting codes of conduct. We welcome all of this. The directive falls short, however, of what was required."@en1
