7. poziva Komisijo in države članice, naj v sodelovanju z nacionalnimi in evropskimi predstavniškimi združenji podjetij okrepijo prizadevanja za ozaveščanje o tem problemu, tako da bo s tem seznanjenih več ljudi in se bodo lahko izognili zavajajočemu oglaševanju, ki bi jih utegnilo premamiti v neželene oglaševalske pogodbe;
Calls on the Commission and on Member States to step up their efforts, in full cooperation with national and European business representative organisations, to raise awareness of this problem so that more people are informed and empowered to avoid misleading advertising which can lure them into unwanted advertising contracts;
11. poziva Komisijo, naj okrepi spremljanje izvajanja Direktive 2006/114/ES, še zlasti v tistih državah članicah, ki so znane kot sedež zavajajočih podjetij za imeniške storitve, predvsem pa v Španiji, kjer ima sedež v peticijah najpogosteje omenjeno podjetje za imeniške storitve, ter na Češkem in Slovaškem, kjer je bila proti žrtvam izrečena sodba, ki zbuja dvom o izvajanju te direktive v teh državah; poziva Komisijo, naj Parlamentu poroča o svojih ugotovitvah;
Calls on the Commission to step up its monitoring of the implementation of Directive 2006/114/EC, most notably in those Member States where misleading business-directory companies are known to be based, but in particular in Spain, where the business-directory company that is most often named by petitioners is established, and in the Czech Republic and Slovakia where a court judgment has been delivered against victims in a manner which calls into question the implementation of Directive 2006/114/EC in those countries; calls on the Commission to report back to Parliament on its findings;
15. obžaluje, da se Uredba (ES) 2006/2004 ne uporablja za poslovanje med podjetji in se zato nanjo ni mogoče sklicevati kot na sredstvo za boj proti zavajajočim poslovnim imenikom; poziva Komisijo, naj predlaga zakonodajo, da se njena uporaba ustrezno razširi;
Regrets that Regulation (EC) 2006/2004 is not applicable to business-to-business transactions and therefore cannot be relied upon as a means of combating misleading business directories; calls on the Commission to propose legislation to extend its application accordingly;
18. poziva države članice, naj zagotovijo, da bodo imele žrtve zavajajočega oglaševanja na voljo jasno prepoznaven nacionalni organ, ki se mu bodo lahko pritožile in pri njem poiskale pravno varstvo tudi v primerih, ko je žrtev zavajajočega oglaševanja podjetje;
Urges Member States to ensure that victims of misleading advertising have a clearly identifiable national authority to which they can make a complaint and from which they can seek a remedy even in cases, such as these, where the victims of misleading advertising are businesses;
Številna podjetja, pogosto mala, so žrtve goljufij zaradi zavajajočega oglaševanja.
Many enterprises, often small businesses, fall victim to scams operated through misleading advertising.
Pogosta goljufija je, da se žrtve nehote prijavijo za oglas v poslovnem imeniku v prepričanju, da bo brezplačen.
A common scam is one whereby victims unwillingly sign up to an advertisement in a business directory after having been led to believe that this would be free of charge.
Žrtve navadno od zavajajočih podjetij za imeniške storitve prejmejo obrazce, s katerimi naj bi dopolnili, popravili ali posodobili podatke o svojem podjetju.
Victims typically receive forms from misleading business directory companies inviting them to complete, correct or update their business details.
Pogosto jim zatrjujejo, da je posodobitev podatkov brezplačna.
They are often told that updating the information is free-of-charge.
To jih napelje k temu, da podatke posodobijo in odpošljejo obrazec.
This entices them to update it and send off the form.
Ne zavedajo pa se, da s podpisom obrazca podpisujejo tudi pogodbo, ki jih zavezuje k objavi oglasa v poslovnem imeniku za najmanj tri leta, z letnim stroškom približno 1000 EUR.
But they do not realise that by signing the form they are also signing up to a contract binding them to place an advertisement in a business directory for a minimum period of three years and at an annual cost of around €1,000.
Žrtve se zavedo goljufije šele, ko prejmejo dopis podjetja za imeniške storitve, da so pravzaprav objavili oglas v imeniku, skupaj z računom.
Victims realise the scam when they receive a letter from the business-directory company informing them that they had actually placed an advert in the directory, along with an invoice requesting payment.
Podjetja za imeniške storitve ali njihovi izterjevalci neplačnike pogosto nadlegujejo in jim celo grozijo s sodnim pregonom.
Those who do not pay up are often harassed and even threatened with legal action by the directory companies or their debt collection companies.
Mnogi preprosto obupajo in plačajo, da bi se izognili nadaljnjemu nadlegovanju.
Many simply give in and pay up in order to avoid further harassment.
Prizadetih je bilo na tisoče podjetij po vsej Evropski uniji.
Thousands of businesses have been affected across the European Union.
Ker tovrstne pogodbe stanejo približno 1000 EUR na leto in trajajo najmanj tri leta, je njihov finančni vpliv v EU precejšen.
Considering that the contract costs around €1,000 per year and lasts for a minimum of three years, the financial impact across the EU is considered to be significant.
Medtem ko je jasno, da obstaja element zavajajoče poslovne prakse, ki je navadno nezakonita, pa ni povsem jasno, ali zakonodaja EU zagotavlja pravno varstvo, in če ga, ali se to ustrezno izvaja na nacionalni ravni v različnih državah članicah.
While it is clear that there is an element of misleading business practice, which is usually illegal, it is not entirely clear whether EU law provides a remedy and if it does, whether this is being adequately enforced at national level in different Member States.
Tako zavajajoča podjetja za imeniške storitve pri goljufanju pogosto izkoriščajo zakonske vrzeli ali pomanjkljivo izvajanje na nacionalni ravni.
So misleading directory companies often exploit grey zones in the law or weak enforcement at national level to push the scam.
Skupna točka je, da imajo zavajajoči poslovni imeniki navadno sedež v drugi državi kot žrtve.
A common element is that misleading business directories are normally established in a country which is different from the country of the victim.
Zato se te le stežka sklicujejo na nacionalno zakonodajo ali se po pomoč obrnejo na nacionalne organe v drugi državi članici.
This makes it difficult for victims to use national law and national authorities to stand up for them in another Member State.
Pogosto se dogaja tudi, da nacionalni organi s področja varstva potrošnikov njihove pritožbe zavrnejo, češ da se potrošniška zakonodaja nanaša na potrošnike, ne na podjetja.
Moreover, businesses often find that national authorities responsible for consumer protection tend to brush off their complaints on the basis that consumer law applies to consumers and not to businesses.
Tako nimajo nobenega učinkovitega pravnega sredstva, tovrstne poslovne goljufije pa se lahko nemoteno širijo.
This leaves them without an effective remedy and opens the door to business scams of this nature to thrive.
Vsi poslovni imeniki pa ne temeljijo na zavajajočem oglaševanju in številna podjetja za imeniške storitve so popolnoma zakonita.
Not all business directories are based on misleading advertising and many business-directory companies are perfectly legitimate.
Poslujejo celo na podlagi kodeksa ravnanja, ki jasno določa, da morajo biti naročila jasno razvidna kot taka in da brezplačnega oglaševanja ni mogoče mešati s plačljivim oglaševanjem.
Indeed, they even operate on the basis of a Code of Conduct which makes it clear that orders must be clearly identifiable as an order and that free advertising cannot be mixed with advertising against payment.
Vseeno pa se nekateri poslovni imeniki zanašajo na zavajajočo poslovno prakso.
Yet, some business directories rely on misleading business practices.
V največ prejetih pritožbah se pojavlja en poslovni imenik, European City Guide s sedežem v Valencii v Španiji, omenjajo pa se tudi drugi, denimo Construct Data Verlag, Deutscher Adressdienst GmbH in NovaChannel.
Most complaints received by the European have singled out the business directory known as the “European City Guide” which is based in Valencia, Spain but others, such as “Construct Data Verlag”, “Deutscher Adressdienst GmbH” and “NovaChannel” have also been mentioned.
Nekateri od zavajajočih poslovnih imenikov so tudi spletni.
Some misleading business directories are also web-based.
Po zatrjevanju predstavnikov podjetja European City Guide samo to podjetje na leto izda približno 6,5 milijona obrazcev.
According to representatives of the European City Guide, some 6.5 million forms are issued this company alone every year.
Namen poro č ila
Objectives of this report
Odbor za peticije Evropskega parlamenta je prejel več kot 400 peticij malih podjetij iz vse Evropske unije in celo nekaterih tretjih držav, ki trdijo, da so žrtve.
The Petitions Committee and of the European Parliament received more than 400 petitions from small businesses across the European Union and even from some third countries, who claim to have fallen victims.
Poleg tega je več poslancev Evropskega parlamenta o teh pritožbah pisalo Evropski komisiji in vložilo vprašanja za pisni in ustni odgovor.
Moreover, several Members of the European Parliament have written to the European Commission about these complaints and a number of written and oral questions were also tabled by MEPs.
Evropski parlament pa je odobril to poročilo, da bi podrobneje raziskali ta problem in predlagali nadaljnje ravnanje.
On its part, the European Parliament authorised this report in order to investigate this problem further and propose ways forward.
Poročevalec želi zato s poročilom:
Consequently, through this report, your rapporteur wants to:
o povečati ozaveščenost o tem vprašanju, tako da bo med žrtvami poslovnih goljufij manj podjetij;
o Raise awareness on this issue so that fewer businesses fall victim to business scams;
o države EU pozvati k strožji nacionalni zakonodaji in zagotoviti ustrezno izvrševanje veljavne zakonodaje EU o zavajajočem oglaševanju in nepoštenih trgovskih praksah;
o Urge EU countries to tighten nationals laws and ensure that existing EU law on misleading advertising and unfair commercial practices is adequately enforced;
o pozvati Komisijo, naj okrepljeno spremlja izvajanje zakonodaje EU in izboljša veljavno zakonodajo EU, če se ugotovi, da teh goljufij ni primerno nepreklicno preprečiti, in
o Urge the Commission to step up its monitoring of the implementation of EU law and to improve existing EU law where it is established that it is not adequate to stop these scams once and for all, and
o ponuditi podporo in smernice tistim, ki so že postali žrtve.
o Provide support and guidance for those who have already fallen victim.

Posvetovanja pred pripravo poro č ila
Consultation prior to the drawing up of the report
Pred dokončanjem tega poročila je poročevalec sodeloval na več posvetovalnih sestankih, tudi z evropsko komisarko za potrošnike Megleno Kunevo in z več poslanci Evropskega parlamenta, ki se zanimajo za to vprašanje zaradi pritožb, ki so jih prejeli od svojih volivcev.
Prior to completing this report your rapporteur engaged in various consultation meetings, including with European Commissioner for Consumers Meglena Kuneva and with several MEPs who are interested in the issue because of several complaints that they received from their constituents.
Poročevalec se je na sestankih posvetoval tudi s poslovnimi združenji, ki predstavljajo podjetja, zlasti evropska mala podjetja, kot sta Eurochambres in UEAPME, ter Evropskim združenjem poslovnih imenikov in seveda žrtvami.
The rapporteur also had consultation meetings with business organisations representing businesses, especially small businesses in Europe, such as Eurochambres and UEAPME as well as the European Association of business Directories and of course, victims themselves.
Odbor za peticije je v četrtek, 11. septembra 2008, v Evropskem parlamentu priredil delavnico „Ustavimo goljufije: boj proti zavajajočim poslovnim imenikom“.
A public workshop was organised by the Petitions Committee on Thursday, 11 September, 2008 in the European Parliament entitled “Stop the Scam: Combating Misleading Business Directories”.
Na njej so imeli poslanci Evropskega parlamenta priložnost prisluhniti vlagateljem peticij in predstavniškim združenjem, predstavnikom Komisije ter tudi predstavnikom podjetja za imeniške storitve European City Guide, na katero opozarja največje število peticij.
The session provided a an opportunity for MEPs to listen to petitioners as well as representative organisations, Commission representatives and also representatives from the European City Guide business-directory which is the single most important company identified by the petitioners.
Ugotovitve poro č ila
Findings of the report
Poročevalec meni, da so vlagatelji peticije opozorili na resen problem, ki je očitno široko razširjen, čezmejne narave in ima velik finančni vpliv, še zlasti na mala podjetja.
Your rapporteur considers that the petitioners do indeed raise a serious problem which appears to be widespread, of a cross-border nature and which has a significant financial impact, notably on small businesses.
Poleg tega meni, da so institucije Skupnosti zaradi čezmejne narave tega problema dolžne žrtvam zagotoviti ustrezno pravno varstvo.
Moreover, your rapporteur feels that the cross-border nature of this problem places a clear responsibility on Community institutions to provide an adequate remedy to victims.
To bi jim moralo omogočiti izpodbijanje veljavnosti pogodb, sklenjenih na podlagi zavajajočega oglaševanja, da bi dobile povrnjen denar, ki so ga plačale zaradi zavajajočih praks.
This remedy should enable victims to contest the validity of contracts concluded on the basis of misleading advertising and it should also enable victims to obtain a reimbursement of the money that they paid as a result of misleading practices.
Poročilo obžaluje, da nacionalni organi žrtvam očitno ne morejo zagotoviti ustreznega pravnega varstva in da kljub razširjenosti teh zavajajočih poslovnih praks zakonodaja EU in nacionalna zakonodaja očitno nista ustrezni, da bi zagotavljali učinkovito pravno varstvo, ali pa se ne izvajata ustrezno.
The report regrets that existing national authorities seem to be unable to provide an adequate remedy to victims and also considers that despite the widespread nature of these misleading business practices, EU and national legislation also do not seem to be adequate to provide an effective remedy or are not being properly enforced.
Svetovanje žrtvam
Guidance for victims
Poročilo žrtve poziva, naj primere poslovnih goljufij prijavijo nacionalnim organom in se ustrezno posvetujejo, preden poravnajo pristojbine, ki jih od njih zahtevajo zavajajoča podjetja za imeniške storitve.
The report urges victims to report cases of business scams to national authorities and to seek appropriate advice before settling fees demanded by misleading business-directory companies.
Poleg tega bi morale žrtve s svojim primerom seznaniti poslovna in potrošniška združenja ter svojega predstavnika v Evropskem parlamentu, tako da bi bilo mogoče okrepiti ukrepe za boj proti zavajajočim poslovnim imenikom na evropski ravni.
Moreover, victims should bring their case to the attention of business and consumer associations as well as their representative in the European Parliament so that the action to combat misleading business directories can be strengthened at European level.
Ozaveš č anje
Raising awareness
Poročilo z odobravanjem spremlja prizadevanja evropskih in nacionalnih poslovnih združenj za ozaveščanje njihovih članov in jih poziva, naj ta prizadevanja okrepijo, da bo čim manj ljudi sploh postalo žrtve zavajajočih poslovnih imenikov.
The report welcomes the efforts made by European and national business organisations to raise awareness among their members and calls on them to intensify their efforts so that fewer people become victims of misleading business directories in the first place.
Odobrava tudi ukrepe nekaterih držav članic, na primer Italije, Španije, Nizozemske, Belgije in Združenega kraljestva, zlasti pa Avstrije, pri poskusih odvračanja podjetij za imeniške storitve od zavajajočih praks.
It also welcomes the action taken by certain Member States such as Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom but most especially Austria, in trying to prevent business-directory companies from undertaking misleading practices.
Vendar meni, da so ta prizadevanja nezadostna.
However it notes that these efforts remain insufficient.
V zvezi z ozaveščanjem poročilo poziva Komisijo in države članice, naj v sodelovanju z nacionalnimi in evropskimi predstavniškimi združenji podjetij okrepijo prizadevanja za ozaveščanje o tem problemu, tako da bo s tem seznanjenih več ljudi in se bodo lahko izognili zavajajočemu oglaševanju, ki bi jih lahko premamilo v neželene oglaševalske pogodbe;
On awareness, the report calls on the European Commission and on Member States to step up their efforts, in full co-operation with national and European business representative organisations, in order to raise awareness about this problem so that more people are informed and empowered to avoid misleading advertising which can lure them into unwanted contracts.
Poleg tega Komisijo poziva, naj ta problem obravnava v okviru svoje pobude „Akt za mala podjetja“.
The report also calls on the European Commission to address this complaint in the context of its “Small Business Act” initiative.

Directive 2006/114/EC
UL L 376, 27.12.2006, str.
OJ L 376 of 27.12.2006, p.
21–27. o zavajajo č em in primerjalnem oglaševanju
21–27. concerning misleading and comparative advertising
Poročilo ugotavlja, da velja za poslovanje med podjetji Direktiva 2006/114/ES
The report notes that Directive 2006/114/EC
21–27. o zavajajočem in primerjalnem oglaševanju, in zato velja tudi za problem, s katerim se srečujejo žrtve zavajajočih poslovnih imenikov.
21–27. concerning misleading and comparative advertising applies to business-to-business transactions and therefore applies to the problem faced by victims of misleading business-directories.
To direktivo, ki določa uporabo odredb za prenehanje kršitev in drugih pravnih postopkov, ki prepovedujejo nadaljnje zavajajoče oglaševanje, so v svojo zakonodajo prenesle vse države članice.
This Directive has been transposed in all Member States and provides for the use of cessation orders and other legal proceedings to prohibit the continued use of misleading advertising.
Očitno direktiva ne zadostuje, da bi zagotovili ustrezno pravno varstvo, ali pa je države članice ustrezno ne uveljavljajo.
However it appears to be either insufficient in providing an effective remedy or inadequately enforced by Member States.
Zato je Evropska komisija pozvana k okrepljenemu spremljanju izvajanja Direktive 2006/114/ES
The report therefore calls on the European Commission to step up its monitoring of the implementation of Directive 2006/114/EC
To bi bilo treba storiti še zlasti v tistih državah članicah, ki so znane kot sedež zavajajočih podjetij za imeniške storitve, predvsem pa v Španiji, kjer ima sedež podjetje za imeniške storitve, ki je v peticijah najpogosteje omenjeno.
This should be done most notably in Member States where misleading business directories are known to be based, but most especially in Spain where the business directory company which is most identified by the petitioners is established.
Posebno pozornost je treba nameniti tudi Češki, kjer je bila proti žrtvam nedavno izrečena sodba, ki zbuja dvom o učinkovitosti izvajanja te direktive v tej državi.
Particular attention must also be paid to the Czech Republic where a court judgement has recently been delivered against the victims in a manner which appears to call into question the effectiveness of the implementation of this Directive in that country.
V poročilu je Komisija pozvana, naj Parlamentu poroča o svojih ugotovitvah.
The report calls on the Commission to report back to the European Parliament on its findings.
Direktiva 2005/29/ES
Directive 2005/29/EC
V poročilu je z obžalovanjem ugotovljeno, da Direktiva 2005/29/ES
The report notes with regret that Directive 2005/29/EC
Po drugi strani lahko države članice enostransko razširijo področje delovanja svoje nacionalne potrošniške zakonodaje na poslovanje med podjetji, zato lahko tiste, ki želijo zagotoviti zaščito v svoji nacionalni zakonodaji, to lahko storijo brez čakanja na zakonodajno pobudo Komisije za spremembo zakonodaje EU.
On the other hand, Member States may unilaterally extend the scope of their national consumer legislation to business-to-business transactions and therefore those that wish to provide protection in their national legislation can freely do so without waiting for a Commission legislative initiative to change EU law.
Najboljši zgled za boj proti zavajajočim poslovnim imenikom je Avstrija, ki je po letu 2000 spremenila svoj nacionalni zakon o nepoštenih trgovskih praksah.
The best model for combating misleading business directories appears to be Austria which, since 2000, changed its national Unfair Commercial Practices legislation.
Ta v oddelku 28a zdaj navaja, da „je v okviru poslovanja in z namenom konkurence prepovedano oglaševati vpis v imenike, kot so rumene strani, telefonski imenik ali podobni seznami, s plačilnim nalogom, nakazilom, fakturo, ponudbo za popravek ali na drug podoben način ali neposredno ponujati tak vpis, ne da bi nedvoumno in tudi z jasnimi grafičnimi sredstvi poudarili, da je tak oglas le ponudba za sklenitev pogodbe“.
Section 28a of this law now states that "It shall be prohibited to advertise, in the scope of business and for the purpose of competition, for registration in directories, such as yellow pages, telephone directory or similar lists, by way of payment form, money order form, invoice, offer of correction or similar manner or to offer such registrations directly without unequivocally and also by clear graphical means pointing out that such advertisement is solely an offer for a contract."
Poročevalec meni, da je avstrijski zgled dober in bi mu bilo treba slediti.
Your rapporteur feels that the Austrian model sets a good example and should be followed.
Zato v poročilu poziva Evropsko komisijo, naj zaradi čezmejne narave problema predloži novo zakonodajno pobudo po avstrijskem zgledu, ki bi izrecno prepovedovala oglaševanje v poslovnih imenikih, če morebitne stranke niso nedvoumno in z jasnimi grafičnimi sredstvi seznanjene, da je tak oglas le ponudba za sklenitev pogodbe o plačilu.
Thus, the report calls on the European Commission to consider, in the light of the cross-border nature of this problem, bringing forward a new legislative initiative, based on the Austrian model, which specifically prohibits advertising in business directories unless prospective clients are unequivocally and by clear graphical means informed that such advertisement is solely an offer for a contract against payment.
