"I am in favour of the report on the strategy for strengthening the rights of vulnerable consumers, as they form a special category of consumers which needs special protection and a specific strategy. This vulnerability can result from both endogenous causes, where the consumer’s vulnerability is the result of temporary or permanent causes that are inherent to the consumer or his or her physical or mental situation, or exogenous causes, namely those caused by external agents such as a lack of information. I agree with the notion that the reinforcement of vulnerable consumers’ rights does not only entail regulatory development but, above all, efforts to promote consumer empowerment through the provision of accessible and understandable information. I think the new Consumer Programme 2014-2020 should prioritise the reinforcement of vulnerable consumers’ rights, paying particular attention to those with disabilities, for example, reading accessibility for visually impaired persons and the use of universally recognised symbols."@en1
