lpv:translated text	". I believe that the new rules contained in the report provide clarity and set out acceptable criteria, for both consumers and businesses, when concluding online transactions. I hope that they will improve consumer protection and the functioning of the internal market, while also stimulating cross-border trade within the EU. These amendments are overdue – the original directives anticipated the digital revolution, but today consumers shopping online do not have adequate protection. The new rules are good news for Lithuania, which has one of the highest Internet penetration rates in Europe. According to reports in the Lithuanian media ( ), in Lithuania the number of consumers shopping online has grown by 73% over the last two years. The list of purchases is very broad, from tickets (32%), clothes, shoes and accessories (also 32%), to electrical appliances (23%). However, improving consumer rights should not be restricted to the Internet. We must reduce bureaucracy and promote transparency in all areas of consumer rights. We should also strive to ensure that people are better informed about consumer rights. Research carried out in the EU has shown that seven out of ten Lithuanians would still like to know more about their rights when purchasing airline tickets online or when facing additional credit charges."@en1
