"Madam President, this morning, after three years of work, we voted on a very important text with regard to advancing the protection of consumers in Europe. It focuses, and rightly so, on online purchases, which in 20 years’ time could well represent 25% of all trade in Europe, which is a significant amount.
Some of these purchases will be cross-border. They will offer consumers a broader choice as well as lower prices. This is real progress. For SMEs and for craftspeople as a whole, it is also a very important opportunity to find new outlets.
Among the main advances, I would like to mention two: the cooling-off period, which has been extended to 14 days, and provision of the summary containing all the information and the total price to pay before the last button or click which confirms the order.
Finally, I am proud, in the context of these explanations of vote, to say that I, all fellow Members and political groups voted unanimously, because on such a subject we obviously needed consensus and not controversy. We achieved that consensus."@en1
