lpv:spoken text	"Consumers in the EU still lack sufficient protection; I believe more needs to be done to strengthen their rights, which is why I voted in favour of this report. The report suggests solutions for tackling common problems in sectors such as transport, finance and the Internet, reflecting that the protection and promotion of consumer rights are at the heart of European policies. Existing requirements on product information and product suitability do not do enough to protect vulnerable consumers, especially not the elderly. The report, which has my full support, calls for clear and simple information on products and services. Current rules do not do enough to protect travellers, especially when there are delays or cancellations and fares that are difficult to understand can lead to some consumers paying three times more than others. It is important to strengthen the rights of vulnerable consumers, which is why I supported this report as it calls on the Commission to take vulnerable travellers into account when revising EU passenger rights legislation."@en1
