"Although citizens of the Member States of the European Union are better protected as consumers than the inhabitants of any other part of the world, we have by no means achieved all of the set objectives. One of the most topical problems in this area is how to guarantee the rights and protection of the most vulnerable consumers. In order to achieve this, the Commission and the Member States should work together to develop an appropriate strategy. Today, it is clear that the awareness-raising work that has been undertaken via campaigns up to now is insufficient, especially for people who simply do not know of or understand the existing options or the mechanisms for complaint resolution and compensation. Developments in recent years have shown that consumer protection and, in particular, the protection of the most vulnerable consumers, need to be improved, above all in the areas of financial services, flights offered by low-cost carriers, Internet advertising and the availability of legal protection. Among other things, we must take a more serious attitude towards ensuring that children, young people and the elderly obtain and understand information in relation to their nutritional choices, with regard to the large-scale campaigns concerning foods with high sugar, fat and salt content."@en1
