lpv:translated text	"The lack of unity between existing laws and standards is often a disincentive for consumers and businesses who are considering participating in cross-border trade. Consumers and businesses encounter obstacles in relation to the differences in market conditions. There is a need for extensive harmonisation of the contract in question, with a view to retaining a high level of consumer rights protection in particular. In addition to sectoral variations, the scope of the directive would be limited mainly to off-premises contracts. It is these contracts that account for the greatest number of cross-border transactions. Also the issue as to whether a given contract is subject to the harmonised rules depends mainly on the wording of the defined terms. Some of these are often deficient and unsatisfactory from a legal perspective. There is a real need to ensure that consumers in all EU Member States are guaranteed a high level of consumer protection and for them to be able to have goods supplied and provided without unnecessary legal obstacles. This would help to boost consumer confidence, and also to make businesses more interested in cross-border transactions."@en1
