lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of this report, which calls for the harmonisation of card payment systems in order to facilitate cheaper and safer methods of paying for goods. The current system means that electronic payment structures across Member States are too disparate and act as an obstacle to better market integration in the EU. As the most frequently used electronic method to make retail payments, it is imperative that the current card payment system be harmonised in order to ensure a higher level of consumer protection. I welcome the suggestions set out in this report, which are a useful first step in developing an integrated European card, internet and mobile payment system across the EU. It is also important, however, for the Commission to ensure that vulnerable consumers are not excluded in any new payment systems proposed in the future."@en1
