"Access to basic payment services is one of the preconditions for European consumers to benefit from the internal market, from freedom of movement, money transfer and the purchase of goods and services at reasonable transaction costs. Access to basic payment services is increasingly becoming a prerequisite for social inclusion in terms of access to employment, health care and housing. General economic and social development contribute to high bank account penetration: legislative approaches have had satisfactory results in many European countries, where the number of unbanked citizens has dropped considerably as a result of the implementation of legislative initiatives. Considering that not all Member States have taken adequate action required by the Commission Recommendation on access to a basic payment account, and too many Member States still have no legal requirement for providers to offer basic payment services, we request that the Commission put forward a detailed assessment of the state of play in all Member States and present us with a proposal for a directive ensuring access to basic payment services to all consumers legally residing in the Union."@en1
