"Mr President, when people want to take out a loan, they encounter the fact that the costs of the loan are higher than expected, since some important information has not been communicated to them or has not been communicated clearly. Indeed, a common, negative experience is that consumer credit conditions are often difficult to understand. This year, as the rapporteur has mentioned, an investigation at Union level reviewed numerous websites advertising consumer credit, for example 16 in my country, Hungary. Of these, 11 were found not to comply with the Union consumer-protection rules, but there is a much worse situation than that. For example, 93 were reviewed in Belgium, and there was a problem with 89 of them. I think this result is absolutely desperate. In my view, banks not only have a problem with credit construction but also with credit brokers, since it often emerges from the credit-broking companies themselves that they actually represent a consumer group and are therefore capable of misleading consumers. We have a double task: on the one hand, to represent consumers and, on the other, to regulate companies that engage in such misleading practices."@en1
