"There should be a uniform level of protection for consumers within the EU and, in particular, protection against unfair business practices, misleading advertising and improper contract terms. Children, adolescents, older people and people with disabilities are, of course, particularly vulnerable. This is also the case with people who do not understand the local language, have a lack of knowledge or are forced to use new technologies with which they are not familiar. The protection must cover not only their financial interests, but also other areas, such as health and safety. In particular, in the case of the failure to fulfil the legal obligation to provide information and of the right of withdrawal, most importantly for cross-border online purchases, there are still problems in enforcing the law. The financial sector remains problematic because of its complexity. Similarly, there is still a lack of price transparency among low-cost airlines, for example. Despite the fact that the basic intentions of this report are good, it remains difficult to enforce these measures on behalf of consumers. Therefore, I cannot vote in favour of the report."@en1
