lpv:translated text	"According to the rapporteur, the general public and businesses in the ten new Member States are unaware of the rights and opportunities offered by the harmonised EU legislation on consumer protection. We fully share the view that consumer protection is a significant issue. We are, however, critical of quite a few of the measures proposed in the report, for example the following: the fact that the rapporteur recommends that consumer awareness be given higher priority in school curricula throughout Europe, this being something we believe should be decided on at national level, and not by the EU; the fact that the Commission is to conduct a ‘strategic information and education campaign’ to prepare consumers for the introduction of the euro in the new Member States; the fact that the Commission is to prepare a special strategy for promoting the development of a consumer culture in the new Member States, something that can be implemented independently by individual Member States; the fact that consumer organisations are to obtain extensive EU funding, without the report specifying the relevant amounts; the fact that the new Member States’ governments are called on to fund the formation of consumer organisations, something that we believe should be decided on at national level. We regret that the European Parliament is again using a very important political issue to introduce new budget headings and unduly far-reaching EU measures."@en1
