"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the challenges posed by the modern age and by Mr Triantaphyllides’s report, for which we have voted in favour, dictate that citizens in their capacity as consumers should be placed at the centre of the EU debate, and they remind us that the safeguarding of citizens’ interests cannot remain a principle sanctified at the level of treaties, but should be a concrete and inspiring principle of EU politics. Protected and informed consumers, who are made more aware and are therefore in a position to take full advantage of the instruments and resources at their disposal, as well as to make full use of their rights, should be the final aim of the EU’s new strategy on consumer policy. This strategy should therefore be established as an approach with ample breathing space, and it should be all-encompassing, so that it can move freely from the sector of financial services to that of food, from the safeguarding of minors to advertising, and, therefore, be in a position to make an important contribution to Europe’s social and environmental objectives."@en1
