lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the reform of the directive on consumer rights has been a long and sporadic process. The Commission’s original idea for full­scale harmonisation threatened to impair levels of consumer protection, particular that of consumers in the Nordic countries. This would have been contrary to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, according to which consumer legislation must be based on levels of consumer protection that are as high as possible. We should therefore always remember that the markets are for consumers, and it is not the case that consumers are for the markets. Legislation on consumers and small entrepreneurs must always be as clear as possible and easy to understand. Legislation that is precisely and carefully drafted is in the interests of all parties. Accordingly, it is good that the directive is being referred back to committee, as Parliament today decided it should."@en1
