Avis,

These were the experts listed at the time of the consultation:

Queries may be addressed unit B.5 "Financial Services", Mr. Van Lysebettens (technical expert), tel. (++322)/(02)299 48 50 or Mr. Ring (general matters), tel (++322)/(02)295 69 47.

http://europa.eu.int/comm/consumers/policy/developments/cons_cred/cons_cred04_en.html.

I would suggest contacting Mr. Ring, [log in to unmask]. He is the Deputy Head of Unit for financial services in the Heath/Consumer DG and is still responsible for the consumer credit issues.

Subject: consumer credit

On page 88 of the proposal on consumer credit (COM(2002)443)

http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/com/pdf/2002/com2002_0443en01.pdf

there is reference to a consultation procedure.

The discussion paper was issued in June 2001 and it can be found on the Consumer Credit website of the Commission at

http://europa.eu.int/comm/consumers/policy/developments/cons_cred/cons_cred04_en.html

However, I cannot find any information - apart from the description in the proposal - on the responses to the discussion paper. It obviously generated a lot of comment, questionnaires, etc.

I have an enquirer who would like to be able to see those responses - can anyone tell me if they are available on-line, or if there is anywhere else we might ask??

grateful thanks, as always, for any assistance you can offer
