Paragraph 13
13.

Amendment 101 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Emphasises that information about collective actions plays a major role in the effectiveness of the procedure as consumers need to be aware that they have been the victims of the same illegal practice and that there is a collective action launched; calls on Member States to put in place efficient mechanisms and sizeable funding ensuring that a maximum of victims are informed, in particular when those are domiciled in several Member States; stresses, in this connection, the key role that consumer organisations and European Consumer Centres (ECCs) can play in passing on the information to as many people as possible, in particular the most vulnerable consumers;
