lpv:translated text	"I wholeheartedly welcome the call to strengthen the single market. In my view, however, it should be strengthened in a balanced way. The single market cannot be judged in isolation from other policy areas, in particular, the social area, consumer protection and employment rights. We want an internal market which is fair and which benefits not only European businesses – particularly small and medium-sized ones – but, above all, the core of the market – the citizens themselves. We often hear that it is essential to involve citizens more in the development of the single market. How can we achieve this effectively? In my view, an effective information process can play a key role. This starts with public consultations, when legislation is under preparation. It is essential for consultations to be accessible in all official languages, and for them to be made more accessible and intelligible. The overall process continues by maximising the awareness of consumers when choosing goods and services, when they must have certainty that the legal framework rules out any concept of second-class consumers. Last but not least, consumers must be informed about their rights and how to enforce them, for example, through a functional alternative dispute resolution (ADR) system. I would like to end by joining the call for consistent transposition of the regulations. Insufficient and tardy implementation in national law and insufficient enforcement of regulations prevents a full exploitation of the benefits of the single market. Far from all transpositions are successful. My own country, the Czech Republic, despite some progress, does worst of all in this."@en1
