lpv:spoken text	"We, the Greens/EFA, wanted to ensure minimum harmonisation for all EU consumers. This would allow Member States to introduce or maintain higher levels of protection than the EU ‘average’. In addition, we wanted to ensure a high level of protection for all consumers. We were of the opinion that a good legislative proposal would be a good example to show citizens that the EU has their interests at its heart. Following much hard negotiation and misunderstanding, we made good improvements to the text, notably the inclusion of digital content, the exclusion of health and social services, the inclusion of legal as well as natural persons and good provisions for withdrawal rights and passing of risk. However, we voted against in IMCO as the flaws remaining were too large. We could not accept a text that would mean a reduction in consumer protection for any EU citizen. The text was not fully subject to minimum harmonisation, and the text of individual Articles was neither clear nor good enough to ensure that there would be no reduction in consumer protection for some EU citizens. After today’s vote in the EP, the text is back with the Commission."@en1
