– s ohledem na zprávu Výboru pro vnitřní trh a ochranu spotřebitelů ( A6‑0378/2005 ),
– having regard to the report of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection ( A6‑0378/2005 ),
A. vzhledem k tomu, že vysoká úroveň ochrany a důvěry spotřebitelů je nezbytným předpokladem pro dobře fungující vnitřní trh,
A. whereas a high level of consumer protection and consumer confidence is a precondition for a well functioning internal market,
B. vzhledem k tomu, že vnitřní trh přinesl spotřebitelům v EU hmatatelné výhody v podobě snížení cen a rozšíření nabídky,
B. whereas the internal market has delivered tangible benefits for consumers in the EU, through lowering prices and widening choice,
1. konstatuje s uspokojením, že ochrana spotřebitelů se v deseti nových členských státech zlepšuje a pozitivně rozvíjí, i když má před sebou ještě hodně práce;
Notes with satisfaction that, overall, consumer protection in the ten new Member States has developed in a positive way, raising standards, although much remains to be done;
3. připomíná také důležitost článku 153 Smlouvy, který umožňuje, aby členské státy zachovávaly nebo zaváděly přísnější ochranná opatření;
Recalls also the importance of Article 153 of the Treaty, which allows Member States to maintain or introduce more stringent protective measures;
6. požaduje, aby nové členské státy zvýšily kontrolu trhu tak, aby výrobky a služby nabízené na jejich trzích splňovaly přísná měřítka z hlediska bezpečnosti a aby všechny vadné nebo nebezpečné výrobky byly urychleně stahovány z trhu;
Calls for the strengthening of market surveillance structures in the new Member States so that products and services circulating on their markets meet high safety standards and that any defective or dangerous products are rapidly removed from the market;
8. vyzývá Komisi, aby podporovala posílení výkonnosti a koordinace dozorových orgánů v nových členských státech, včetně jejich přeshraniční vzájemné spolupráce;
Calls on the Commission to help improve the performance of, and coordination between, supervisory bodies in the new Member States, including cross-border mutual cooperation between them;

Welcomes the Commission proposal to develop and update the scientific knowledge base and assessment tools on consumer exposure to chemicals, including with respect to general product safety, and to contribute to the application of the REACH regulation;
Spotřebitelská kultura
Consumer culture
13. je si vědom, že sebevědomí spotřebitelů je znatelně nižší v nových členských státech, kde byla po desetiletí potlačována svoboda projevu a shromažďování; upozorňuje, že k rozvíjení „spotřebitelské kultury“ je nutné systematicky zvyšovat informovanost spotřebitelů o jejich právech a současně významně posílit vymahatelnost těchto práv; žádá proto Komisi, aby vypracovala specifickou strategii na podporu rozvoje spotřebitelské kultury v nových členských zemích;
Is conscious of the fact that consumer awareness is significantly lower in the new Member States, where freedom of speech and freedom of association were stifled for decades; points out that if a "consumer culture" is to develop, consumers' awareness of their rights must be systematically increased and at the same time it must be made significantly easier for them to exercise those rights; calls, therefore, on the Commission to draw up a specific strategy to encourage the development of a consumer culture in the new Member States;
14. vyzývá Komisi, aby zvážila možnost definovat na úrovni Společenství znaky toho, co se myslí pod pojmem „zastupující sdružení spotřebitelů nebo zastupující spotřebitelská organizace“, aby se zajistilo, že spotřebitelé v EU mají řádné a nezávislé zastoupení;
Calls on the Commission to assess the possibility of defining parameters at Community level for what is meant by a "representative consumer association or organisation", to ensure that consumers in the EU are properly and independently represented;
17. upozorňuje, že v nových členských státech obecně platí, že nevládní neziskové organizace nedisponují potřebným vlastním kapitálem, není zde uspokojivě rozvinuto získávání finančních prostředků a že sami spotřebitelé nejsou ochotni přispívat z vlastní kapsy na spotřebitelské organizace, neboť přetrvává názor, že za ochranu spotřebitelů je odpovědný pouze stát.
17 Points out that in the new Member States it is generally the case that non-governmental, non-profit-making organisations do not have the necessary own capital, that fundraising is not adequately developed and that consumers themselves are unwilling to contribute out of their own pockets to consumer organisations on account of the enduring belief that the state alone is responsible for protecting consumers;
21. vyzývá vlády nových členských států, aby zajistily, že spotřebitelské organizace se budou moci vyjadřovat ke všem fázím politického rozhodování a provádění spotřebitelských právních předpisů;
Calls on the governments of the new Member States to ensure that consumer organisations are adequately consulted in all stages of the political decision-making process and in the implementation of consumer law;
23. vyzývá Komisi, aby podpořila intenzivní školicí programy pro pracovníky spotřebitelských organizací, a to přímo v nových členských státech a v jejich úředních jazycích; cílem musí být proškolení širší základny pracovníků a dobrovolníků těchto organizací a ne jen jejich vrcholového vedení s cílem zvýšit efektivnost spotřebitelského hnutí;
Calls on the Commission to support intensive training programmes for the staff of consumer organisations to be held in the new Member States and to be conducted in those countries' official languages, the aim being to train a wider base of staff and volunteers working for such organisations and not just their senior managers, with a view to making the consumer movement more effective;
Obchodní organizace
Business organisations
Orgány pro ochranu spotřebitelů
Consumer protection authorities
29. vyzývá orgány pro ochranu spotřebitelů, obchodní organizace a spotřebitelské organizace v členských státech, aby úzce spolupracovaly při ochraně spotřebitelů; konstatuje, že dobře fungující trh je v zájmu všech zúčastněných stran;
Urges the Member States’ consumer protection authorities, business organisations and consumer organisations to work in close cooperation to promote consumer protection; notes that the smooth running of the market is in the interest of all parties concerned;
Spotřebitelské informace
Consumer information
33. vítá, že Komise vede kampaně za zvýšení informovanosti spotřebitelů v řadě členských států, a vybízí Komisi, aby pro tento účel poskytla více finančních a lidských zdrojů;
Welcomes the fact that the Commission is carrying out awareness-raising campaigns in a number of Member States and encourages the Commission to devote more financial and human resources to this purpose;
35. doporučuje, aby v nových členských státech spotřebitelské organizace vydávaly časopisy zabývající se otázkami zkoušení výrobků; vyzývá Komisi a nové členské státy, aby alespoň v počátku zajistily dostatečné financování a zaškolení pro vydávání takových publikací;
Recommends the publishing of test magazines by consumer organisations in the new Member States; calls on the Commission and the new Member States, at least initially, to ensure that sufficient financing and training is provided to enable the development of such publications;
