Consumer protection: indication of prices of products offered to consumers

1995/0148(COD)
The committee has adopted a recommendation for second reading (rapporteur Mrs OOMEN-RUIJTEN, PPE, NL), on the obligation to indicate both the unit price and price by weight of products. Following the common position of the Council, the differences between the two institutions mainly concern small businesses. Briefly, Parliament would like to help small businesses by providing them with information and giving them a maximum of six years to comply with the Directive. It is with this in mind that the Committee on the Environment has produced its own recommendation, proposing amendments. �
