lpv:translated text	"As is mentioned in the resolution, the European Parliament has received more than 400 petitions on the subject of widespread misleading trading practices by publishers of business directories which affect thousands of businesses, mostly small ones. These practices have a significant financial impact overall. On the whole, the misleading trading practices in question consist of inviting companies, professional individuals and non-profit-making organisations to register free of charge in a business directory. Those who sign up discover only later that they have put their names to a contract with a fee attached. Furthermore, the publishers of business directories are often located in a different Member State from their victims, making it difficult for the latter to appeal to their national authorities for protection and/or justice. The Commission for Petitions regrets the fact that Directive 2006/114/EC on misleading and comparative advertising, which is applicable to business-to-business transactions, seems either to fall short of providing effective counter-measures or to be insufficiently implemented by Member States. In the resolution that has now been adopted, the European Parliament calls on the European Commission to analyse the problem and work towards a solution, a request that has gained our support."@en1
