lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because Parliament has received more than 400 petitions concerning widespread misleading business practices by business directory companies that are having a significant financial impact on thousands of mostly small businesses in the European Union, and Parliament continues to receive petitions and complaints about business directory companies. The misleading business practices in question typically entail luring businesses, as well as professionals and non-profit entities, into being listed in a business directory free of charge, but signatories later discover that they have signed up to a contract with a fee. The business directory companies are often established in a different Member State from that of their victims, making it difficult for the latter to seek protection and/or redress from national authorities. The Commission is urged to speed up its activities with regard to revising and improving Directive 2006/114/EC and other relevant legislation in order to put an end to the misleading practices of business directory companies as soon as possible, notably by specifically blacklisting misleading practices by business directories."@en1
