". I voted in favour of this report because it contributes to the discussion initiated by the Commission on the protection of vulnerable consumers, particularly in view of the publication of the Consumer Agenda, which aims to define the Commission’s main priorities and future efforts in the area of consumer policy. As shadow rapporteur on this report, I defended several important points, particularly a clarification of the definition of vulnerable consumers (extending beyond the classic sense, associated with physical or mental disability, to cover the notion of situational vulnerability), the strengthening of the European strategy not only through a development in the legal corpus and effective enforcement of rights but also through consumer empowerment (access to information, consumer education), taking into account vulnerability as a result of the development of new practices associated with new information and communication technologies (behavioural advertising, for example), and finally, the need to make businesses aware of their responsibilities in this area and to recognise the initiatives that they develop in the field of self-regulation."@en1
