In the current context of the European Internal Market, it is increasingly important to defend the rights of consumers, in particular those who are less well-off. European legislation allows for cross-border claims, as well as the mutual recognition of the decisions of national courts, but the current procedure for cross-border debt recovery is arduous and prohibitively expensive. The purpose of the report with recommendations on proposed interim measures for the freezing and disclosure of debtors’ assets in cross-border cases is for European citizens and businesses to have the right for these decisions to actually be enforced. The lack of this type of measure sends a signal of impunity to recalcitrant debtors and makes it easier for rogue traders to evade their responsibilities, as they can simply move their assets to another jurisdiction to prevent a court judgment from actually being enforced. This forces citizens to go before another Member State’s courts, with no guarantee that this costly process will have a favourable outcome. I have therefore been unable to vote against this report, which sets out measures aimed at protecting these rights."@en1
