Triples with object UKIP has voted in favour of rejecting the Council position at second reading. Whilst we are great advocates of increasing consumer rights, we are against the full harmonisation that this directive requires. In 2014 a UK government report had stated that this proposal was ‘far from perfect’. UKIP believes that if national governments had the opportunity to update their own consumer protection laws they would be able to pass legislation that is the best fit for their consumers.
