"In my speech I would like to focus the attention of the European Parliament on 15 March, which has been declared International Consumer Rights Day on the initiative of the organisation Consumers International. This day presents an excellent opportunity for bringing the EU closer to its citizens through policies connected with consumer protection.
As a member of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection I have worked hard on this issue. I am delighted about the enormous interest shown by young people who are getting actively involved in various consumer activities. For example, in the Consumption for Life international competition for young consumers which is organised by the Slovak Association of Consumers, more and more young consumers are getting involved every year, with interesting tales about their first experiences concerning choice and consumer decisions.
I would like to encourage the EU Member State governments to strengthen and support consumer organisations. Only strong, representative and effective non-governmental organisations can succeed in increasing consumers’ awareness of their rights."@en1
