On 13 March 2007 Commissioner Meglena Kuneva set out more than 20 legislative and non legislative initiatives to boost the retail side of the Single Market by 2013. This will move forwards in the coming months with: a comprehensive overhaul of cross border shopping rights, an in-depth assessment of how best to strengthen consumer collective redress; new proposals to strengthen the Timeshare Directive; and a pledge to open the market for better cross border deals for credit (Consumer Credit Directive). The new Consumer Strategy 2007-2013 aims to boost confidence in the Single Market so that consumers can shop freely across borders - travelling or online – to get the best price, the best quality and for the product best suited to their needs.
