"Mr President, I would like to agree with the previous speaker. Quite often, it appears that whatever the problem, the answer seems to be from this place more EU and more regulation. Harmonisation versus mutual recognition, imposed EU contract law that adds an administrative burden to small businesses. But yet what we really should be focusing on is making the EU work better. Whatever your views on the EU, whether you are sceptical about further integration or you want more Europe, we should be focusing on making the EU and the Internal Market work better, but also tackling cross-border fraud. For years since I have been an MEP, I have been receiving letters and e-mails from constituents who have inadvertently been misled into signing up for a business directory, then being invoiced for a rather large amount of money. Rather than focusing on all the other stuff we focused on this week, let us make sure the EU works better. Let us focus on reducing the administrative burden for small and medium-sized businesses and let us help EU citizens who have been affected by this cross-border fraud."@en1
