"Mr President, I supported the European Parliament’s compromise position on the review of the consumer acquis within the Union.
The report proposes improvements for half a billion citizens when exercising their rights concerning withdrawal from a contract, delivery of goods, statutory guarantee, methods of calculating the withdrawal period, unfair contractual terms, contracts providing digital content and on-line auctions.
Having expressed my support, I nevertheless believe that given that the Commission is preparing the most extensive review of the consumer acquis to date, Parliament could have solicited more modern, innovative and far-reaching changes, particularly in the following five priority areas:
− higher degree of consumer protection in electronic commerce;
− simplification of cross-border transactions for consumers and entrepreneurs;
− enforcing proper application of, and compliance with, European rules on the part of the Member States;
− increased consumer literacy; and
− successful exercise of consumer rights across borders.
I trust that the Commission’s proposal will be more adventurous. I know that Commissioner Kuneva is committed to tackling such a demanding task as this."@en1
