lpv:translated text	"I welcome this resolution because we must encourage honest business practices and halt the spread of misleading business practices. To that end, we must set out effective means for redress. Currently, most companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, suffer significant financial losses as a result of such misleading activities. Enterprises receive inaccurate business propositions and they are entrapped into unwanted contracts for advertising in business directories. In this case, national authorities are unable to provide adequate protection or redress because the business directory companies are often established in a different Member State from the businesses affected. This enables business directory companies to abuse the current situation unopposed. In order to stop such dishonest activities as soon as possible, the Commission must compile a blacklist of misleading practices by business directories and adopt relevant legislation, focusing, in particular, on the provisions of the directive on misleading and comparative advertising and the implementation of these. I believe that we must create the right conditions for cooperation between the Member States’ national authorities, which would facilitate the application of administrative or legal measures across borders. The European Union must implement these measures for the Internal Market to be able to function normally, for consumers to be protected, and for business operators to be able to engage in fair business practices."@en1
