Article 2
The aim of the Programme is to support thea new policy objective of placing the empowered consumer at the centre of the internal market. The Programme will do so by contributing to, noting that liberalisation in the internal market has led to increased prices, lower quality and fewer services. The Programme will do so by contributing to citizens' welfare, by promoting economically, socially and environmentally sound sustainable development throughout the Union, by furthering social justice, sustainability and solidarity based on mutually supportive economic, social and environmental pillars steered by a democratic and participatory process of socio-economic governance, and by a focus on benefits to citizens and consumer protection, in particular by protecting the health, safety and economic interests of consumers, as well as to promoting their right to information, education and to organise themselves in order to safeguard their interests. The Programme will complement, and support and monitor the policies of Member States.

The evaluation shall additionally address the scope for simplification, its internal and external coherence, the continued relevance of all objectives, as well as the contribution of the measures to the Union priorities of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth., and take into consideration that the focus on "competitiveness" and "cost cutting" underlying the Lisbon Strategy also aggravated the severe economic imbalances within the eurozone (countries with large export surpluses against countries with large current account deficits) and within the Union more generally, undermining the Union's economic, social and territorial cohesion; It shall take into account evaluation results on the long-term impact of the predecessor programme;
