lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the report by Mrs Hedh on consumer protection. This own-initiative report rightly recognises the crucial role of consumer organisations, which are the ideal organisations for alerting public authorities to the problems consumers experience in their daily lives. Naturally, I also support the requirement for Member States to adequately consult consumer organisations at all stages of the decision-making process and of the transposition and implementation of consumer law. Very important as well is the matter of also including in the Consumer Markets Scoreboard long-term indicators such as those relating to market shares, quality, advertising, transparency and comparability of offers, indicators relating to enforcement and consumer empowerment, social, environmental and ethical indicators, and also indicators to measure redress and consumer detriment. The only two drawbacks of this report, as I see it, are the failure to adopt the amendment tabled by the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance to learn from the market failure in the energy sector, and our amendment requesting a revision of the Toys Directive. The fact that this amendment did not prevail remains regrettable. Nevertheless, I wish to congratulate the rapporteur and her colleagues in the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection on this sound report."@en1
