"Mr President, I voted in favour of the Irigoyen Pérez report on a strategy for strengthening the rights of vulnerable consumers. The report stresses the importance of understanding what it is that makes the consumer vulnerable and picks up on the fact that vulnerability can come from external factors – for instance, I myself was a victim of consumer credit fraud even though I am not vulnerable and I realise that there is very little come-back under our system against this – as well as from those that are inherent in the consumer’s physical and mental situation, and therefore proposes measures for the problems of vulnerability to be addressed on a case-by-case basis rather than a ‘one size fits all’ solution.
I backed the report’s assertion that consumers’ ability to make the best decision by themselves is optimised in a situation in which they have access to all adequate information which is both comprehensible and easily accessible. I therefore back the Commission’s efforts to provide such information to all consumers and feel that this will only result in the production of a fairer and more efficient internal market for all consumers throughout the European Union."@en1
