"After weeks of negotiations, agreement has finally been reached on this crucial issue for European citizens, namely consumer rights. By adopting this proposal for a directive, which replaces four existing directives with one, we hope to improve the regulation of consumer protection and guarantee everyone a minimum level of protection. Thus this directive contains some major steps forward, and, in particular, better supervision of remote sales and
commerce. It will help facilitate the thousands of purchases made on a daily basis from other European countries. In concrete terms, a French customer buying something from a German website will benefit from the same protection as would a German customer. As someone who represents a very cross-border constituency and who hails from the only region in France to share a border with three other EU Member States, I am very sensitive to these problems and this directive represents a major step forward. Beyond that, one of the main successes of the European Union is the internal market. By guaranteeing clear consumer protection, we will be able to strengthen consumer confidence in the internal market and more generally towards the European Union."@en1
