"I am pleased that Parliament is highlighting the need to ensure that prices are more transparent and comparable for European consumers, and, with this in mind, to improve active cooperation among national statistical agencies in the exchange of comparable data. I also amended the report in the committee to reflect this. Furthermore, the report insists that the consumer’s freedom of choice should be preserved, which is why particular attention must be paid to local retailers, who play a role in the accessibility of goods and services to all and in the preservation of jobs, particularly in the most backward regions. This report also reminds us, quite rightly, of the need to expand online trade and to increase consumer confidence in this area, for example by improving access to the Internet in those regions of the Union which need it, as well as improving the security of online payments. Finally, the report proposes developing a global European action plan for retail trade developed by the Commission in cooperation with the retail sector, and I would like to see this European action plan come about. For all these reasons, I have supported this excellent report."@en1
