Abstract (english)
On 8 October 2008, the Commission published its proposal for a “Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on consumer rights“. This horizontal directive, which is based on full targeted harmonization should change and unite the content of Directive 85/577, Directive 93/13, Directive 97/7 and Directive 99/44 and repeal these directives at the same time. The Commission Proposal for a Directive on consumer rights represents an important piece of legislation, which tries to develop a coherent set of rules in European consumer contract law. The introduction of unifi ed common defi nitions, rules on information duties and of central regulation of right of withdrawal for distance and off-premises contracts should affect the current regulatory fragmentation in this fi eld and thus contribute to legal certainty of consumers. However, with the exception of these improvements and certain additional rules, the Proposal largely replicates the content of the current consumer protection directives. The major difference represents the shift from the minimum to full harmonisation principle. The application of this principle will mean the achievement of comparably higher level of consumer protection on the one hand, and the reduction of the existing level of consumer protection in individual states on the other. While full harmonization is suitable for provisions on withdrawal and on specific information duties, it is not appropriate for provisions on remedies in sales contracts and provisions on black and grey list of unfair contract terms. In conclusion, although the Proposal should be improved and revised by the European legislator, it undoubtedly represents a good starting point for a discussion on the future of coherent European consumer contract law.
