".
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to start by thanking the rapporteur, Mrs Bresso, the shadow rapporteurs and the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection for their highly constructive approach at second reading. Thanks to them, and to the Dutch and Luxembourg Presidencies, we today have a package of amendments to the common position which is acceptable to both colegislators and to the Commission.
I trust that this House will support the proposals contained in Mrs Bresso's recommendation, which were supported unanimously in the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection.
All the proposed amendments to the committee recommendation are acceptable. The amendments are in keeping with the objectives of the directive to safeguard constant consumer protection throughout the European Union, something which, on the one hand, will increase consumer confidence and, on the other hand, will simplify things for legal undertakings. Similarly, their application in practice is feasible.
This directive provides consumer protection and, at the same time, it is good both for the internal market and for our competitiveness in general. It will replace the current compilation of national regulations with a cohesive Community framework. For traders, this means a cohesive set of regulations wherever they trade in the European Union. For consumers, it means new means of protection in certain sectors, such as aggressive practices, and the certainty that cohesive rules apply throughout the European Union.
We trust that you will support this package, so that we have the possibility of putting this new law into application."@en1
