"This report is on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council Directive on Consumer Rights. The European Union has always been concerned with the free movement of people and goods. However, this freedom sometimes raises issues that need to be cleared up and, above all, prepared for or prevented. In a globalised world where purchases are increasingly made over the Internet, it is becoming essential to adapt legislation to the new requirements of the market, with a view to defending the rights of consumers who, very often, do not even know them.
I therefore welcome the adoption of this report, which represents a major step forward in consumer protection. I also welcome the option taken by the Council of restricting this directive to door-to-door and Internet sales – a market that is expanding significantly, but in which consumers still feel a little lost – and I approve of the simplification measures adopted, not least the possibility of consumers, but not companies, rescinding contracts by telephone. In reality, the common market requires rules that are more precise and transparent, such as the clause on the requirement for information on the mechanisms of online transactions."@en1
