"Like my fellow Members who have contributed to today’s debate, I too consider Nickolay Mladenov’s report to be correctly timed and very important with regard to consumer protection.
In the context of the increased volume of foreign automobile travel, especially following the enlargement of the EU and the extension of Schengen, many European citizens are becoming accident victims abroad and, through ignorance, often experience serious problems.
Before travelling abroad by car, citizens must be provided with basic information on how to handle claims. It is important to contact the appropriate information centres which, pursuant to the Fourth Motor Insurance Directive, are to be established in every Member State. The pre-contractual information package should include comprehensive information to consumers on how the claims representative system works and on legal expenses insurance.
Member States have established different systems and national regulatory bodies are better placed to guarantee the highest possible level of consumer protection in their national markets. For this reason, I agree with the rapporteur that it is not necessary to harmonise national penalty provisions at Community level."@en1
