"With the adoption of today’s resolution, the European Parliament has once again called for protection for small and medium-sized enterprises. Practices in which firms are offered a listing in a business directory while the false impression is given that it is a free service are becoming increasingly common. Unfortunately, when the facts are revealed, it turns out that in reality, the enterprise has undertaken to pay a fixed sum for a certain period of time. This type of practice has been the subject of complaints made to the European Parliament by businesses. This is why we also want the European Commission to check how the Member States have implemented the provisions of Directive 2006/114/EC on misleading and comparative advertising. The European Parliament is also demanding that the question of misleading business directories be included in a review of that directive. In the resolution which has been adopted today, we return, too, to a proposal which has already been made in the resolution adopted by Parliament in 2008 on the same matter, namely, the idea of creating a blacklist of dishonest practices employed by businesses which operate business directories. I hope the European Commission will not drag its feet over taking the appropriate steps to protect small and medium-sized businesses from these dishonest practices."@en1
