Paragraph 8
8. Takes the view that disputes frequently cover different industry sectors and different areas of law and that victims of unlawful behaviour face the same difficulties in obtaining redress in different sectors, and is concerned that any EU initiatives in the field of collective redress will result in a fragmentation of national procedural and damages laws which will weaken and not strengthen access to justice within the EU; in the event that it is decided after due consideration that a Union scheme of collective redress is needed and desirable, asks that any proposal in the field of collective redress should take the form of a horizontal instrument providing uniform access to justice within the EUBelieves that any proposal in the field of collective redress that would take the form of a horizontal instrument should include minimum standards for an EU-consistent system and should not preclude the adoption of sector-specific initiatives in sectors where a specific need has been identified;
