lpv:translated text	"I welcome what is being done to strengthen consumer rights in the EU. I also support the proposed measures for facilitating cross-border trade, and the measures for clarifying EU rules on consumer protection in order to eliminate the current uncertainty. Transparency and better information for businesses and consumers would greatly contribute to consumer confidence in the market, and this would encourage economic growth. That said, however, I am quite worried about some of the measures and their impact on small and medium-sized enterprises. While these businesses are certainly in favour of measures that would create a clearer legal framework and complement existing consumer protection mechanisms, some of them are worried that some of the new provisions could impact on the day-to-day running of enterprises. Such measures can greatly increase red tape and the unnecessary administrative burden. In protecting consumers, we must be sure that we do not finish off the enterprises and services that cater to those consumers."@en1
