"By voting for this report, we have invited the European Commission and encouraged the 27 Member States to ‘maintain constant and close analysis of social and consumer behaviour and situations that may place certain groups or individuals in vulnerable situations, for instance, by analysing consumer claims’. We have also encouraged them to fight against vulnerability through specific measures, which, where appropriate, will protect all consumers ‘regardless of ability and at whatever stage of life’.
We have particularly insisted on the need to enhance consumers’ awareness regarding product safety, particularly through targeting children and pregnant women, and called on the Commission to carry out a detailed analysis of the impact of misleading and aggressive advertising, particularly on children and adolescents. The EU and its Member States are immediately being asked to invest more in consumer information and education campaigns, since the vulnerability of many consumers derives from their lack of assertiveness, from their lack of comprehension of the information they receive or of the options available to them, and from their lack of awareness of the complaint and redress schemes available to them."@en1
