"I have just a few short points to make, otherwise Malcolm Harbour will persecute me if I do not say anything on this.
Again, I reiterate that consumer confidence in the market is key if we want growth. The market is demand and supply, and unless we give consumers the confidence in the market to increase their demand, then all attempts will fail. So what we are doing is buttressing consumer empowerment in the European Union. We are working with Ms Reding on a consumer strategy, which I hope we will bring forward very shortly and which will be based on issues that we can bring to the Member States.
One issue is safety: we already have quite good arrangements on safety, which, with Commissioner Tajani, we will be strengthening through the Product Safety Directive. Information is another issue, and here, Parliament has already contributed quite a lot in relation to labelling and other information aspects.
Redress is a further issue, which we talked about previously in relation to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and collective redress. And then there is the question of enforcement, on which we would probably need rather more gumption in order to make all these directives we have mentioned implementable in the various Member States."@en1
