"I would like to express my views on the motion for a European Parliament resolution on strengthening the rights of vulnerable consumers. I believe it is important to clearly define who vulnerable consumers are. On the one hand, they include persons regarded as such because of a mental, physical or psychological disability or because they are young or elderly, but on the other, we must not forget those who are in a temporary state of vulnerability due to external factors. In every case, we must always provide consumers with all the necessary means to ensure that they can make the right decisions and assert themselves. This includes providing easily accessible and understandable information about products and always explaining all the options open to the consumer, such as the existing complaint and redress schemes. Children and adolescents deserve special mention as they are often targeted by misleading and aggressive advertising, which should be more strictly controlled. I am thinking, for example, of the way foodstuffs directed at children are advertised. A final point that I would like to mention is the importance of easy access to justice for people entitled to receive redress for harm suffered."@en1
