lpv:translated text	". Article 129(a) of the Treaty states that ‘The Community shall contribute to the attainment of a high level of consumer protection’, through ‘specific action which supports and supplements the policy pursued by the Member States to protect the health, safety and economic interests of consumers and to provide adequate information to consumers’. Any such action, however, ‘shall not prevent any Member State from maintaining or introducing more stringent protective measures’. The regulation before us forms part of the follow-up to the Commission Green Paper on European Union consumer protection, giving substance to Article 129(a) of the Treaty. Its aim is to strengthen cooperation between the national authorities responsible for the surveillance, investigation and prosecution of cross-border infringements. A network of public bodies is thus created, in order to address the rise in cross-border trade – especially electronically – and the need to offer consumers better protection. The rapporteur also seeks to enlist the participation of consumer organisations in this cooperation, and this is something that we consider to be of vital importance. Hence our vote in favour. We feel, however, that all efforts should be made to avoid any major repercussions on the Member States’ national legal systems or any disparities in the prosecution of national or cross-border infringements."@en1
