"Mr President, my colleagues and I in the UK Conservative Delegation have been receiving letters from constituents for literally a decade about the way they have been treated when trying to get mortgages or trying to navigate local rules for property markets in Spain, France and Bulgaria, to name a few of the EU Member States which British residents have been trying to access.
These cross-border purchases with mortgage payments, however, are the exception. Most mortgages are local to the country from which the applicant derives. Every country in the EU has its own culture as regards home ownership, and that should be respected, but consumer protection should be the defining principle when considering cross-border rules and the compatibility of national systems.
I congratulate Mr Sánchez Presedo on his report on this issue, although I still have concerns about how the directive is likely to be implemented across the EU. Moreover, I cannot understand why the Council had such a problem with including correlation tables, which would have provided a record of how the directive had been implemented."@en1
