"In a period of economic crisis in Europe, it is necessary to introduce a higher level of consumer protection and the strengthening of the internal market in cross-border consumer credit. With this vote, both of these objectives can be met, by harmonising some key aspects of credit law that have undoubtedly made it possible to significantly raise the level of consumer protection in Europe. In 2011 the Commission carried out a review of 562 consumer credit websites. The outcome was as follows: on 46 % of the websites checked mandatory information was lacking in the advertising material, on 43 % clear information concerning the overall costs, the duration of the agreement and certain credit-related costs was lacking, and on 20 % the presentation of the costs was misleading. There also needs to be a focus on transparency and clarity in advertisements for consumer credit products."@en1
