| In its Communication to the Spring European Council Driving
European Recovery of 4 March 2009 – COM(2009)114, available at
http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barroso/president/index_en.htm –
the European Commission undertook to come forward with measures at
EU level on responsible lending and borrowing, including a reliable
framework on credit intermediation, in the context of delivering
responsible and reliable markets for the future and restoring
consumer confidence. Building on previous consultations and policy
development in the area of retail financial services, and especially
mortgage credit, this consultation sought to strengthen and deepen
the Commission services’ understanding of the remaining issues
surrounding responsible lending and borrowing, and to inform our
analysis of the varying policy options in this area. The objective
of this consultation was to collect stakeholders’ reactions to the
issues raised in the consultation document. |
