"This directive aims to simplify and complete the legislative framework in force, by merging the four existing directives into a single legislative instrument. These directives only provide for minimal harmonisation clauses and leave the adoption of more rigorous rules to the discretion of the Member States. This has contributed to an enormous fragmentation at EU level and high compliance costs for businesses in cross-border transactions.
There is a need to establish a true internal market between businesses and consumers that is able to contribute to a fair balance between a high level of consumer protection and businesses’ competitiveness, but also to ensure respect for the subsidiarity principle. That would enable consumers to have access to competitive cross-border offers, benefitting from better choice, better prices and the clear advantages of the internal market, whilst also enabling them to place greater trust in a high level of protection of their rights. At the same time, it will enable companies to provide goods and services without being subjected to unnecessary legal obstacles.
I agree that the ideal solution would be an approach of total harmonisation, as initially proposed by the Commission and requested by several spheres of business. However, unfortunately, that approach is still unfeasible at this stage…"@en1
