") We agree with this regulation, which aims to abolish the barriers to cross-border cooperation between public enforcement authorities to detect, investigate and bring about the cessation or prohibition of intra-EU infringements of the laws which protect consumers’ interests.
That will increase consumer confidence in taking up cross-border offers, and prevent sellers and suppliers from evading enforcement to the competitive detriment of law-abiding sellers and suppliers. We are of the opinion that the current sector-based approach to consumer policy initiatives does not facilitate coherent enforcement. A greater role for the Commission in coordinating the enforcement of pan-European activities would therefore be necessary.
We also believe that, to foster better consumer protection in Europe, the scope of this regulation should be broadened in order to reflect the body of existing EU legislation in this area in a more holistic and horizontal way.
Lastly, the cross-border enforcement of consumers’ interests should be placed high on the Union’s political agenda. Improved cooperation between national enforcement authorities should develop into a more efficient remedy in the hands of European consumers and boost their confidence in the internal market."@en1
