"One of the objectives of the European Union is to protect consumers’ wider interests from unfair business practises, misleading advertising and unfair contract terms. In a complex social and economic context, there are some consumers who – for various reasons – prove weaker and more vulnerable than others.
Among the particularly problematic sectors for consumers are the financial sector, food, transport, the Internet, liberalised markets and access to justice. One of the goals of this vote is to clarify the term ‘vulnerable’, so as to harmonise the issue and regulations surrounding it. The creation of a strategy for strengthening the rights of the most vulnerable consumers contributes not only to the social inclusion of such customers and to advancement towards a more just and tolerant society, but also to ensuring a more dynamic, safe and competitive internal market."@en1
