"Madam President, The category of vulnerable consumers or consumers in a vulnerable situation requires special attention from the competent authorities and the development of strategies for their protection. I agree with the approach of the rapporteur, who preferred not to focus on the creation of a new definition of so-called vulnerable consumers, which could have become a double-edged sword. In my opinion, political and legal instruments should act preventatively to avoid situations where the vulnerability of consumers is frequently and intentionally abused. The improvement of the cognisance and awareness of their rights should, however, be complemented by an improvement in awareness of the safety of products and services. With regard to product safety, special information campaigns should focus on pregnant women and children. Let me also call upon the Commission to include the protection of children as one of the main priorities of the consumer agenda and analyse the effects of misleading and aggressive advertising on children and adolescents in particular, whose health regularly falls prey to such advertisements."@en1
