"I am voting in favour of this report because I believe that the moment has come to harmonise the European legal system in terms of consumer protection.
In 2008, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a Directive on Consumer Rights, which consolidated the four existing Community directives into a single legal instrument, with the aim of simplifying and standardising the existing regulatory framework in the area of consumer protection. It is now essential both to guarantee a higher level of protection to all consumers in the 27 Member States of the European Union and to ensure that businesses have the possibility of providing their products and services without encountering unnecessary legal obstacles stemming from differing systems.
Until now, this situation has severely damaged the single European market. In the era of online purchases and the globalisation of consumption, every trader operating in another Member State must feel encouraged to enter the market in other European countries without having the heavy burden of adapting to their national regulations. I hope that our work will be able to respond to the great challenge of protecting consumers and to our businesses’ need for growth, in order to strengthen a strong and competitive market."@en1
