lpv:translated text	"I welcome what the report says on protecting consumer rights and encouraging cross-border trade throughout Europe. Consumer rights are of critical importance to the effective functioning of the single market. I voted in favour of the report because it proposes measures that will ensure that there is protection for consumers everywhere in the Union. Under its provisions, traders will have to provide clear and accurate information in a timely manner and, failing that, a consumer cannot be bound by distance or off-premises contracts. I particularly welcome what it says with regard to giving consumers the right to change their mind after buying an article online. This could be done by email or telephone within a two-week period. There has been a significant increase in online shopping in the EU and there must be protection for consumers who engage in it. It must be ensured, however, that too heavy an administrative burden is not placed on SMEs. A balance must be struck between strengthening consumer rights and cutting red tape."@en1
