Oiq LESSON 11. Preparing to Leave for Home

52.5% in Denmark (63.4% in UK). The remainder of the GDP is devot­ed mainly to financing investments and the collective consumption of general government.

On average, Europeans devote 20% of their 'consumption' budget to food (ranging from 37.8% in Greece to 16.6% in Germany, 21.5% in the UK) whereas 17.2% covers housing expenditure (27.8% in Denmark as against 10.3% in Portugal, 18.5% in the UK). There are also marked disparities in spending on leisure and education (4.3% in Luxembourg compared with 10.5% in Ireland, with a UK average of 9.7%).

There is plenty to be done, even after the legislative programme set out in the Maastricht Treaty on European Union is completed. The sin­gle market, like any other, needs to balance the interests of buyers and sellers if it is to operate efficiently. This means not only fixing addi­tional rules for consumer protection but also ensuring that existing ones are applied correctly (which is not always the case).

Проверьте себя:

1. State five main principles of EU policy of consumer protec­tion.

2. What organizations are involved in this process?

3. When was the first consumer programme adopted?

4. What is the 'consumption' structure in Great Britain?

5. What kind of legislative programme is mentioned in the text?
