"I am pleased that, after more than two years of negotiations in Parliament, we have succeeded in agreeing on a position which both strengthens consumer rights in the EU and makes it easier for enterprises to operate on the internal market.
On account of the decision to vote on the amendments in blocks, many of us are unhappy about the fact that we were not able to vote against certain amendments. Allow me to highlight the following cases.
Chapters 4 and 5: I would have liked a compromise, with Chapters 4 and 5 being completely removed from the proposal. I know that the Council in particular, but also the European Consumers’ Organisation (BEUC) and the Danish Consumer Council, would have preferred that to the compromise we currently have with regard to these two chapters. In this connection, we have to smile at the fact that the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament have chosen to ignore the recommendations of the consumer organisations.
Article 22a: I would also have liked to delete the much-criticised Article 22a. It does not make things particularly easy for small and medium-sized enterprises. However, I am more confident than my fellow Liberal Members from Germany that we will probably succeed in amending this provision during the negotiations with the Council. One idea was to bring this article into line with Article 20 of the Services Directive, which would also reduce the risk of contradictory legislation."@en1
