lpv:translated text	"We must make every effort to ensure that there is a high level of consumer protection throughout the entire European Union. Only by achieving this objective can the internal market function effectively. Above all, we must harmonise Member States’ legislative requirements relating to distance contracts and off-premises contracts. Consequently, specific information requirements need to be imposed on these types of contracts to ensure adequate consumer protection. Once these measures have been implemented, consumers will have more control when purchasing goods. In addition, they will be protected from unfair activities. There will also be an increase in consumer choice, competition, the flow of cross-border trade and distance selling. It should be noted that Member States are given the right not to apply the provisions of this directive to off-premises contracts where the contract amount does not exceed EUR 50, in order to avoid additional legal obstacles."@en1
