European Parliament procedure 2016/0148(COD) (COD - Ordinary legislative procedure (ex-codecision procedure), 8th term, committee IMCO / JURI). Stage: Procedure completed. 490 committee amendments tabled by 29 Members between 2017-01-16 and 2017-02-06.

## What the amendments focus on

Legislative proposal on cooperation between national authorities responsible for enforcing consumer protection laws. Amendments revise recitals on the powers of competent authorities to detect and stop intra-Union and widespread infringements, particularly in the digital environment where traders conceal their identity or relocate within the Union or to a third country, while leaving Member States free to allocate investigative and enforcement powers and requiring proportionality, fundamental-rights safeguards and business confidentiality.
