"I voted in favour of this report because there is a need to increase consumer protection and, at the same time, ensure the free movement of services and goods. The Consumer Agenda should cover all important subjects and issues that are faced in the area of consumer affairs. Ensuring safe food, health and product safety should be its highest priority. Disclosure of information to consumers is both necessary and important in all sectors of financial services. Groups of people who are particularly vulnerable because of their mental, physical or psychological infirmity, age or credulity – for example, children, teenagers and the elderly – or who are made vulnerable by their social and financial situation (such as those with excessive debts) need special protection. It is therefore very important to inform consumers about their rights and obligations and ensure that consumers’ rights are fully respected when it comes to Internet use and protecting intellectual property rights, while, at the same time, protecting personal data and privacy. In order to enforce consumer rights, the Commission should continue to support and draw attention to the work of the European Consumer Centres network, which plays a central role in informing consumers of their rights."@en1
