"I voted for Amendment 1 to the report on the new strategy for consumer policy because, in accordance with Article 169 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the EU must contribute to protecting the health, safety and economic interests of consumers. Furthermore, the EU must promote consumers’ right to information, education and to organise themselves to safeguard their interests.
According to the fifth edition of the Consumer Conditions Scoreboard of March 2011, consumers across the EU still face very different conditions. Forty-four per cent of consumers stated that uncertainty about their rights discourages them from buying goods from other Member States and that late delivery, non-delivery and fraud are the major factors preventing them from engaging in cross-border shopping.
I support the need to ensure universal access to broadband communications networks and broad access to goods and services online, including by removing distribution restrictions, tackling geographic segmentation and developing electronic payment services. To increase the number of consumers accessing goods and services online, we request from the Commission legislative initiatives on the mutual recognition of electronic signatures, electronic identity and the promotion of e-invoices. I support the removal of unfair contractual terms as part of the sale of goods and services."@en1
