"I voted for this report because consumer protection is always an important topic of debate, and certain measures and regulations need to be adopted by the EU to achieve this. In this regard, it is paramount that there are product safety standards and that measures are introduced to protect the rights and interests of consumers, especially against misleading advertising, which presents consumers with an image of the product that does not match the reality. I think that it is relevant to analyse the sectors which make consumers more vulnerable and require an increased level of protection.
These include, in particular, the financial sector (the price and quality of the product must be presented in a proper, sufficiently clear manner), food sector (control over advertising so that it reflects the real product and its benefits), as well as transport or the Internet. Furthermore, consumers must be offered the wherewithal to enjoy to the full the benefits of a deregulated market, enabling them to make an enlightened choice about the most relevant offerings. Last but not least, with a view to increasing consumer confidence in the internal market, it is absolutely vital to ensure appropriate access to judicial or alternative methods of redress, with the development of the latter being essential."@en1
