The Consumer Rights Directive is now going to the final vote, following my vote in favour at the part-session in March 2011. This new directive, which comprises the fusion of four already existing directives, aims to give new impetus to completing the internal market by removing legal obstacles to cross-border trade. Following long negotiations between the various institutions, this new legal framework will ensure clear and common conditions for citizens and businesses in the EU. Cross-border commercial transactions and online transactions are now harmonised, so ensuring greater security and transparency for EU consumers and businesses. The information to be provided for consumers needs to be clear, intelligible and provided in good time. The specificities of hotel- or restaurant-reservation contracts have also been safeguarded, which was not the case with the initial proposal. I believe this new directive will increase transactions within Europe. This will enable the safeguarding of consumers and of the proper functioning of the single market, pursuant to Article 26(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union: ‘The internal market shall comprise an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured’."@en1
