| That is essential.Finally ,  I would reinforce what the rapporteur has to say about legal aid. If there is one thing my constituents want out of a consumer protection policy ,  it is more information and more assuredness that they know what is going to happen if they get into difficulties in another Member State ,  in particular with regard to buying things such as property :  how much help can European law give them here. At the moment ,  very little.In conclusion ,  something I would have liked to see in the proposals but which is not there :  how will the European Commission ,  possibly in conjunction with European consumer bodies and with business and industry ,  go about getting rules established through self - regulation in areas where there is no legislation and where legislation is perhaps not needed | Dies ist außerordentlich wichtig.Abschließend möchte ich bekräftigen ,  was der Berichterstatter zur Rechtshilfe zu sagen hatte. Was die Bürger und Bürgerinnen in meinem Wahlkreis vor allem von der Verbraucherpolitik erwarten ,  ist mehr Sicherheit und mehr zuverlässige Informationen darüber ,  was geschehen wird ,  wenn sie in einem anderen Mitgliedstaat in Schwierigkeiten geraten ,  insbesondere beim Erwerb von Wohneigentum. Was können sie vom Gemeinschaftsrecht in dieser Hinsicht erwarten. Gegenwärtig kann es ihnen dabei nur wenig helfen |
