Mario Mauro  (PPE ),

I voted in favour of the report. The creation of an integrated market for electronic payments in euro with no distinction between national and cross-border payments is absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market. I agree with the wish to protect consumers: where the payment service user is a consumer, the principle of not levying higher charges should be encouraged. It is a good idea for the Commission to continue its monitoring activities.
