"The Treaty of Lisbon refers to consumer protection as an overarching and fundamental policy of the European Union, which establishes that consumer protection requirements must be taken into account.
In this context, it is essential to strengthen European consumer protection policy and to render it more effective and meaningful for the public. It is crucial to respond to the needs and problems of the European public.
In this sense, instruments for monitoring the market, such as the Consumer Markets Scoreboard, are justified. A good consumer protection policy must ensure healthy markets, and security and confidence, whereby cross-border trade and innovation are encouraged.
I advocate a transparent policy where brand name of origin is obligatory. Consumer protection is important in the face of imported products that are unsafe, and this requires closer cooperation between market monitoring authorities and customs authorities.
The safety of products circulating in the domestic market requires a combination of efforts with the authorities of third countries, and therefore justifies the Commission’s initiative to step up international cooperation and sign formal agreements with the relevant authorities of third countries, especially China, the US and Japan."@en1
