lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, enhancing consumer protection and consumer rights is something I will always advocate for as long as I remain a politician. I cannot, however, support these proposals. Fundamentally, I take issue with the fact that this directive allows little or no scope for Member States to make changes that diverge from its provisions. By imposing this ridiculous level of harmonisation, you are simply presuming that all changes to this directive will be suitable for all 28 Member States. Well, I can tell you something today, that is not the case. For my country, the United Kingdom, these changes are not entirely suitable. If I may reference a UK government report directly, the proposal is far from perfect. Why should the UK Government be bound to abide by something it does not fully support? Once again, this is just another example of the EU enforcing a one—size—fits—all policy with total disregard for the individual needs of Member States. What I say is let us increase protection for consumers, but let us allow national government to regulate that protection."@en1
