".
It is a fundamental right within the single market for European citizens, when they wish to purchase a product or service, no matter which Member State they are in, to be offered the same prices or fees, and when there are discrepancies, to be able to receive an explanation for this.
I think that we need to focus more on the problems in the banking and financial services sector as there are currently large differences in the single market with regard to the fees paid for these services. If you are in Romania, for example, and you wish to use a banking service offered by banks – the same banks which also operate in Romania, France, Italy and Austria – you will pay more fees in Romania and at much higher rates. Such a situation is wrong and I believe that citizens, not only in Romania but in other Member States too, are entitled to hope that European institutions will play a more active role in clarifying these discrepancies. I want to reiterate that I am talking about fees and not about bank interest.
Thank you."@en1
