"Madam President, I would like to thank Mr Rochefort for all his work. I welcome the review of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive. Although this was only introduced relatively recently, our world has changed due to the digital reality we exist within. The disparities in the application of the Directive impair its effectiveness, and that can only be to the detriment of consumers. We need better enforcement, especially when it comes to vulnerable consumers, as was discussed by my colleague just now.
However, there are a lot of issues concerning businesses that this Directive also needs to address. Although I welcome the targeted blacklist of commercial practices, I feel that if we want a practical impact to prevent scams of the type my colleague highlighted previously, such as the European City Guide scam, we really need to consider, as we look forward, including business-to-business within this scope. However, what we have on the table here is a relatively good compromise and we should all support it."@en1
