"I voted in favour of Mr Triantaphyllides’ report on the new strategy for consumer policy. This report, which I helped to draft, sets out the precise issues that we wish to see the Commission address when it proposes its ‘Consumer Agenda’ at the start of 2012. We want to see an agenda that is ambitious, consistent and concrete, placing the consumer at the heart of an effective single market. Our Parliament has emphasised consumer safety, the importance of education and transparent, comparable information for consumers, and on the means of redress that are made available to them. We also dealt with several emergent challenges in the report: the need to move towards sustainable consumption, the need to respond to the specific needs of elderly people in our ageing Europe, the issue of social inclusion and vulnerable consumers and the handling of new demands in respect of labelling (fair trade, carbon footprint and so on). Finally, we again call for greater consistency in European consumer protection policy and for a re-opening of the discussions on how this area is divided up within the Commission."@en1
