"Mr President, I thought what Ashley Fox said in relation to some of the barriers may be worth listening to as regards whether language, the language of websites, is an issue. But I would like to raise a particular point which a citizen raised with me last night.
I like to bring real concerns to the floor of this House as I think it makes us more real as politicians. What he described was a ‘rip-off’ when buying goods online within the European Union delivered into Ireland. I think the Commissioner might work together with us on this to look at this issue. We want people to buy online and across borders, but let us look at the penalties in terms of the high cost of delivering goods to some Member States.
Perhaps this is more perception than reality, but I think it would be wise for us to look at this issue because my constituent very clearly wants to buy online and across borders but believes that, because he is based in Ireland – off the mainland – he is discriminated against and incurs disproportionate costs in that process. So perhaps you will take up that challenge."@en1
