lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioners, I would like to thank the rapporteurs concerned for their constructive work. Despite its shortcomings, the EU’s internal market is a great success and I find it difficult to comprehend Mr Colman’s criticism. The aim of the internal market is to give consumers a wide range of high quality goods and services at good prices, while at the same time guaranteeing a good level of consumer protection. I therefore think we should work towards full harmonisation of consumer rights with a high level of protection, so that consumers can genuinely exploit the advantages of the internal market. This is of particular importance with the increases in cross-border trade and e-commerce. I am convinced that the class action would be an effective way to strengthen Europe’s consumers – based not on an American model, but on a European model. In this respect, we must stop hesitating and finally get down to action. I am pleased that Commissioner Dalli is taking this up. We all know that these days, most jobs are created in the services sector. It is therefore important that the EU has a truly European services sector in which entrepreneurs and consumers can act freely not just nationally, but in the internal market. We need a functioning market in health care services. That will result in better care, more freedom of choice and shorter waiting times. At present, we have an almost unregulated situation and I am relying on Commissioner Dalli to deal with this. Another area to which we must pay more attention is financial services, where we know problems still exist. We therefore need clear and credible rules, not least in view of the financial turbulence, and Commissioner Barnier is going to rise to this challenge. Balanced, reasonable and correct rules are good for consumers."@en1
