Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4

(4) Citizens and businesses should also benefit fully from the internal market. Consumers should be able to enjoy the rights deriving from the consumer legislation and businesses should be supported to exercise the freedom to conduct business in the internal market. The development of contract and consumer legislative instruments provides practical solutions for businesses and consumers to address cross-border problems, aiming to offer them more choices and to make it less costly for them to conclude contracts with partners in another Member State, while providing a high level of consumer protection.deleted
