"Firstly, I should like to congratulate the rapporteur on her exceptional report and to welcome the thrust of the report, the purpose of which is to mainstream the concept of vulnerable consumers across the various legislative and political EU bodies whose purpose is to protect consumers, taking account of the different needs, capabilities and circumstances that apply to them. Most importantly, the report calls for the European Union and the Member States to pay more attention to, and to invest in, consumer information and education campaigns that target the right messages at the right consumer segment. Generally speaking, a strategy for strengthening the rights of the most vulnerable consumers, in order to permit their participation in the single market, contributes not only to their social inclusion and to advancement towards a more just and tolerant society, but also to ensuring a more dynamic, safe and competitive internal market. However, we must ensure that this specific protection for vulnerable consumers does not, under any circumstances, translate into two different levels of protection."@en1
