"I welcome the European Commission’s initiative to launch a Consumer Agenda. I should point out that the internal market must grow without undermining consumer protection, thereby guaranteeing the free movement of services and paying particular attention to the protection of workers.
I call for EU Member States to carry out an in-depth review of ways of devising smarter policies which provide consumers with information they can actually use, without creating additional burdens for companies, thereby addressing the many challenges currently facing the EU: empowering consumers and reducing levels of inequality, encouraging sustainable consumption, reducing consumer exposure to unsafe products and protecting consumers, especially children, against misleading advertising.
I think that special attention should be paid to smart energy systems. The use of new technologies should enable all network users to participate in the internal energy market, in order to save energy and reduce energy costs. Furthermore, efforts need to be coordinated to inform consumers better about more efficient ways to buy and consume food, in order to prevent and combat food waste."@en1
