"Consumer protection is one of the areas where the EU’s actions benefit consumers. I think that the report contains guidelines on the most important aspects of consumer policy which Parliament would like to find in the new strategy that will be presented by the European Commission next year. The Commission will have to take into account consumers’ interests when proposing legislation. In particular, it will, along with Member States, have to communicate better on the subject of consumer rights in order to strengthen consumer confidence. The lack of certainty regarding consumer rights makes consumers especially reluctant to use e-commerce or carry out cross-border online transactions, which are of paramount importance at the moment to the development of the internal digital market. We also need additional guarantees about the safety of products on the market. This is why the General Product Safety Directive needs to be reviewed and the Toy Safety Directive needs to be implemented, as called for in this report. Particular attention will also have to be focused on protecting both vulnerable consumers and consumers in general, and a review of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive and the Misleading Advertising Directive will be very useful to this end."@en1
