lpv:translated text	"The aim of the Directive on Consumer Rights is to simplify contractual relations between consumers and businesses, thereby contributing to the better functioning of the internal market and increasing their confidence in cross-border purchases. It should guarantee consumers a higher level of protection and ensure that businesses can provide their goods and services to consumers without encountering legal obstacles. The European Commission has proposed applying the principle of ‘full harmonisation’, since the current divergence in national legislation has contributed to the fragmentation of the market and the regulatory framework. We consider that such a proposal is impractical at the moment, and we propose instead minimum harmonisation at a high level of consumer protection as a rule, emphasising the need for convergence of national regulations on the exercise and effects of the right of withdrawal. All this will help to strengthen consumer confidence and overcome the reluctance of businesses to engage in cross-border trade. Persons and organisations having an interest in consumer protection will have to report to the Commission on the results of implementing this directive. On that basis, the Commission will have to draw up a report along with proposals for any revisions."@en1
