".
Given the explosion of internet and mobile payments, the European Commission realised it needed to draw up an overview of the payment methods being used in Europe, in order to identify the disparities between the current situation and the integrated payment market of the future. It is estimated that several million enterprises and several hundred million citizens use these payment methods. In 2009, 58 billion retail payment operations were made in the euro area alone. This is why it is important that the European institutions, whose mission is to anticipate and prevent obstacles, have decided to address this subject and propose measures to create the conditions for an integrated market for card, internet and mobile payments. All the measures and rules likely to facilitate information and remove obstacles for consumers should be supported. This is why I welcome the fact that the European Parliament has expressed its opinion on this issue."@en1
