Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) It is important that regulatory actions limit the possibility that a person affected by any kind of vulnerability (social, economic, psychological, health- related, etc.) is exposed to ideas or values that reinforce his or her perception of vulnerability. It is equally important to avoid persuasive actions that present the consumption of a product or service as a clear, straightforward remedy for that vulnerability.
