"Mr Barnier, many small and medium-sized businesses in the service sector are increasingly falling victim to misleading business directory scams. The scams have hit businesses by masquerading as legitimate directories, then charging the unsuspecting businesses for a service they did not ask for, or willingly sign up to. Of course then they are hit with bills in a very difficult economic climate for fighting this fraud. While Directive 2006/114/EC concerning misleading and comparative advertising is in place, this is proving to be of little practical use to SMEs who are faced with threatening letters from debt collectors collecting for a service that the SMEs have not signed up for. Can the Commissioner outline what measures are in place at European Union level to assist the countless SMEs that have been defrauded, scammed and harassed?"@en1
