"Mr President, I am very pleased to be here this morning, on behalf of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, because we worked very closely with Catherine Trautmann to add a number of important elements to her initial report, in particular about users’ rights.
I would just remind you that my committee has had a consistent record, first of all in championing the single market – we need no lessons about that – but particularly because of the real importance of consumer rights and offering consumers that vital information – the ability to switch providers, and understanding the quality of service and any restrictions that may be applied to it, which are vital for the single market.
Our argument is that we have advanced significantly in that respect, particularly with the reforms that my committee added in 2009. The Commissioner talked about contract terms. We added significantly to the Commission’s original proposal in 2009, and we do not need any further lessons about that. I would say to the Commissioner – because, in a way, we are talking about her new proposal – that my committee and my shadows have met already, and we are very disturbed about the fact that you have gone for fully-harmonised regulation.
I see that the Prime Ministers agree with us on the need for more flexibility. We need to do a lot of work on this proposal, but we would have made much more significant progress if you had sent it to us as an amendment to our existing directive."@en1
