lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report. The objective of legislation defending EU consumers is to ensure common consumer protection against unfair business practices, misleading advertising and unfair contract terms, but there must be special protection for vulnerable consumers and they must be targeted by a separate strategy. I agree with the calls for the Commission and the Member States to closely analyse consumer behaviour and situations that may place certain groups in vulnerable situations, in order to provide protection for all consumers, regardless of their ability. Many consumers’ vulnerability results precisely from their lack of assertiveness and comprehension of the information they receive or of the options available, or from their lack of awareness of the existing complaint and redress schemes. I therefore welcome the European Parliament’s proposals to pay more attention to consumer information and education campaigns, to simplify complaint procedures and tighten advertising standards, etc."@en1
