"Mr President, the report on a new strategy for consumer policy, which we will vote on tomorrow, lays the very specific foundations that we wish to see adopted by the European Commission when it proposes its new ‘Consumer Agenda’ at the start of 2012.
Making consumers aware of their responsibilities, providing them with better information, ensuring the safety of the products available to them, quickly implementing existing EU legislation and ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of their rights and responsibilities: those should be the priorities for national and European legislators, for national and European decision makers, and also for companies, professional organisations and consumer associations.
Above all, I believe that this is the right stage at which to begin proper, detailed discussions, so as to strike the correct balance between the amount and depth of information that consumers really need, the way in which they will use that information when making purchases, and the administrative and financial costs for companies of publishing it.
The key word is therefore ‘responsibility’: responsibility on the part of producers, entrepreneurs, businesses and service providers, as well as on the part of consumers."@en1
