"Mr President, the concern shown by our socialist colleagues for our fellow citizens is almost moving. Until now, I thought that it was sufficient for consumers to have enough information and access to justice if the fundamental principles of a business relationship are violated. However, in the explanatory statement, the rapporteur leads us to believe that consumers either do not understand, are not pushy, or they are unable to complain. They are vulnerable and we need to take care of them. The rapporteur is correct in one respect: Some people really are more vulnerable, such as elderly people or children. Their vulnerability is due to the weakening of family and neighbourhood values. They need intergenerational solidarity, and not officials who do their shopping for them. I support the report, but the problem of vulnerable citizens needs to be addressed in a wider context, because otherwise, it will only get worse and not even European legislation will be of any help."@en1
