(5) The Internal Market is a reality for consumers in their daily lives, when they travel, buy and make payments and the effectiveness of the consumer protection policy depends on the extent to which legislation prevents practices and measures that harm consumers' interests. Consumers are key players in the Internal Market and should therefore be at its heart. The digital dimension of the Internal Market is becoming vital for both consumers and traders. Consumers increasingly make purchases over the internet and an increasing number of traders sell online. Consumers and traders should feel confident in carrying out transactions in a digital environment.
