".
We regret that a majority of the European Parliament has rejected the proposals made. This will mean a rough ride for the simplification of consumer rights legislation. We may be faced with an attempt to reduce and limit these rights, particularly in countries where these are more advanced.
We regret that the proposals made by my group were rejected, particularly the definition of a limited set of general rules common to all vertical consumer protection instruments: this would ensure a high level of consumer protection with implementation of the approved method of minimum harmonisation combined with the country of destination principle, so as not to compromise existing national legislation.
As we have said, it would not be acceptable for a consumer rights directive to return to any country of origin principle as a general rule, as was attempted in the initial version of the Directive on the liberalisation of services.
Given that the report still contains several contradictions and negative aspects, we voted against it and will closely follow developments in the situation."@en1
