The proposal for a directive on consumer rights presented by the Commission combines four previous directives in a single legislative instrument. It is the result of revision of the
related to the consumer, which started in 2004 with the aim of simplifying and completing the existing regulatory framework relating to consumer protection. The current regulatory framework results in significant compliance costs for European companies that wish to operate across borders and have to comply with differing legislations. I believe the fragmentation of legal rules acts as a deterrent both to companies and consumers from buying or selling across borders.
The report under discussion aims to achieve necessary balance between a high level of consumer protection and the competitiveness of companies in the insurance market, while at the same time respecting the principle of subsidiarity. Therefore I support the rapporteur's proposals that tend towards a kind of targeted harmonisation, that is to say harmonisation limited to specific aspects of certain contracts such as, in particular, information obligations or the right of withdrawal in remote or off-premises contracts, while managing to maintain a high level of protection for European consumers."@en1
