"Madam President, Commissioner, the 20th anniversary of the functioning of the internal market more or less forces us to take stock of the situation. We have already heard in the debate about all the successes, but there is still a long way to go before the internal market can become an area where all citizens of the European Union can lead contented and decent lives. I believe that a well-functioning European consumer policy, which places the citizen first, is an essential pillar. Consumers have already expressed some specific observations; it is now up to us to turn their expectations into understandable rules, and this includes awareness-raising and education of consumers. Neither should we forget that the rules will work only if they are enforceable and citizens are able to actually assert their rights. In this regard the Single Market Act II in my view still offers too little. Finally, on reaching this anniversary, I would like to express a wish for the internal market to be fair to all its participants – consumers, employees and businesses, regardless of their size – and especially that people will place their trust in it."@en1
