".
Some coherence of consumer policy, such as fixed minimum levels of consumer protection, can stimulate consumers’ willingness to purchase goods and services from another EU Member State and therefore promote the development of a smoothly functioning internal market. Nevertheless, we wish to stress that consumers also purchase many goods from countries and regions outside the EU, such as the United States and Asia. The role of the EU institutions in this connection must not therefore be exaggerated.
It is crucial that the EU measures that are taken are proportional and that the subsidiarity principle is fully respected under all circumstances. We therefore oppose several of the proposals that were presented in the European Parliament earlier, such as EU-initiated information campaigns for consumers, consumer information at EU level (which can be handled nationally or through voluntary cooperation between existing authorities in the Member States) and EU-funded authorities and institutes.
The current European Parliament report and the Commission’s Green Paper on the review of the consumer acquis are essentially well balanced, however, and create a simpler and more predictable regulatory framework. We have therefore decided to vote in favour in the final vote."@en1
