"Mr President, I must apologise to Mrs Collin-Langen for coming in right at the end of the debate, but I have been in Brussels for a conference all day. But I first of all wanted to thank her very much for her first report for the committee.
I think it is important to set this in context. This is a report on implementation of an existing directive. I think though that there has been considerable disappointment expressed by many colleagues here that the provisions of what is a very good directive are not actually being consistently implemented. That is really a crucial message.
The broader message I would give to the Commission is that in this committee we are not content just to pass legislation, but we want to follow it through and make sure that it is properly implemented. So I think there is some clear cause for action here.
A number of countries have raised with us during our visits the question of SMS loans. But of course it is down to them to deal with that because actually they do not need to apply the
threshold to implement this regulation. But I think maybe the Commission wishes to issue some guidelines on this basis.
Finally, I would say that the Commission needs to take seriously our recommendation that this directive needs no further reforms. We actually want it to be properly implemented. We are not looking for a recast or fundamental changes to what we think is a good proposal."@en1
