Consumer rights are just one of the many examples of the European institutions’ failure, at this historic time, to carry out acts of great legal and political importance. We would not want to waste all the work done and the positive things achieved, including, for example, the contribution of our amendment on the right of recourse, which is intended to bring about a clear improvement in the activity of small traders without harming consumer rights.
This plenary session has had the effect of cancelling out the few good things that the rapporteur and the groups introduced into what was a poor proposal to begin with. The responsibility for this situation lies not with Parliament but with the Commission. There are some issues on which even we Eurosceptics in the
are prepared to say yes to a high degree of harmonisation, but only when it makes good sense and is compatible with the public interest, the interests of small and medium-sized enterprises and, indeed, the prerogatives of Member States. Consumer protection being a complex issue, an approach reflecting all of the above was needed from the outset. We abstained during the vote."@en1
