lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document, because the aim of the directive is to achieve a high level of consumer protection and contribute to the proper functioning of the internal market by approximating certain aspects of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning contracts between consumers and traders. The most important aspects of the amendment of the directive are related to distance contracts or off-premises contracts. The act will give consumers more control when purchasing goods, protect them from unfair activities, extend consumer choice and increase competition. It may also contribute to increasing the flow of cross-border trade and stimulating distance selling. This directive shall not apply to contracts relating to: social services, health care, financial services, immovable property, the construction of new buildings, as well as contracts concluded by means of automatic vending machines or automated commercial premises or concluded with telecommunications operators through public payphones for the use thereof, or relating to single telephone, Internet or fax connections established by the consumer. Member States may choose not to apply this directive to off-premises contracts for which the payment to be made by the consumer does not exceed EUR 50. This directive shall not prevent traders from offering consumers contractual arrangements which go beyond the protection provided for in this directive. It should be noted that the European Consumers’ Organisation welcomes this proposal."@en1
