Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EC Consumer Law Compendium presents the results of a wide-ranging study prepared for the European Commisison. This Compendium provides the reader with the necessary information for conducting pan-European cross-border consumer transactions. For the first time, the transposition of 8 key consumer directives (including those on sales, unfair terms, distance and doorstep selling as well as package travel and timeshare) into the national laws of all Member States is analyzed. The findings of this study reveal the substantial differences between the various national implementing measures as a result of utilising minimum harmonisation clauses and regulatory options.

This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 2008 the European Commission published its Proposal for a Consumer Rights Directive which puts forward far-reaching changes to the core of consumer contract law: Four current directives are to be replaced by a new, overarching piece of legislation and in doing so full harmonisation for the most part is to take the place of the minimum standard presently in force in the EU. Although a welcome initiative, the extent and possible effects of the Proposal have certainly brought a number of issues to the fore. In January 2009, legal experts from universities, practice and the civil service met to address the points raised by the Proposal and the question of the extent to which it can indeed contribute to the modernisation and harmonisation of European consumer contract law. The papers presented at this conference analysed, criticised and suggested improvements for the Proposal and are published in this volume.

This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on recent developments in consumer law, specifically addressing mandatory disclosures and the topical problem of information overload. It provides a comparative analysis based on national reports from countries with common law and civil law traditions in Asia, America and Europe, and presents the reports in the form of chapters that have been drafted on the basis of a questionnaire, and which use the same structure as the questionnaire to allow them to be easily compared. The book starts with an analysis of the basic assumptions underlying the current consumer protection models and examines whether and how consumer models adapt to the new market conditions. The second part addresses the information obligations themselves, first highlighting the differences in the reported countries before narrowing the analysis down to countries with a general pre-contractual information duty, particularly the transparency requirements that often come with such a duty. The next part examines recent developments in the law on food labelling, commercial practices and unfair contract terms in order to identify whether similar traits can be found in European and non-European jurisdictions. The fourth part of the book focuses on specific information obligations in the financial services and e-commerce sectors, discussing the fact that legislators are experimenting with different forms of summary disclosures in these sectors. The final part provides a critical appraisal of the recent developments in consumer information obligations, addressing the question of whether the multiple criticisms from behavioural sciences necessitate abandonment or refinement of current consumer information models in favour of new, more adequate forms of consumer protection, and providing suggestions.

Book excerpt: This book will describe the development of European Community consumer law and seek to determine to what extent action by the European Community has promoted the interest of consumer protection. In doing so it will consider important areas relating to protection of the consumers economic interests and physical safety, as well as questions of access to justice. In addition to assessing the success of community consumer policy the authors will also put forward suggestions for ways in which consumer protection can be enhanced at the community level.

Book excerpt: As part of the 'Consumer Law Compendium' project, the European Commission commissioned a comparative analysis on how the eight directives affected by the Review of the Consumer Acquis have been transposed by the Member States, including case-law and administrative practice. This analysis was published on the European Commission's website in December 2006. The analysis highlights the inconsistency between the eight directives and the fact that they have been transposed in very different ways in the 25 Member States studied. The main results of the analysis, which have been summarised and appear in the table below, are in line with the programme adopted by the Green Paper on the Review of the Consumer Acquis. Because Bulgaria and Romania only joined the EU on 1 January 2007, the analysis of these Member States has not yet been completed. However, Bulgaria has to date transposed the Directives 85/577, 93/13, 94/47, 97/7, 98/6, 98/27 and 99/44 into its Consumer Code of 9 December 2005. Directive 90/314 has been transposed by a specific act. Romania has for its part transposed these eight directives with the adoption of specific laws, using the 'copy and paste' method. The results of the comparative analysis strongly confirm the need to take legislative steps both to improve the consumer acquis and to establish the internal market. In order to do this, and as the conclusions demonstrate, the best method appears to be that adopted by the European Commission in its Green Paper. This involves selecting the option of a horizontal instrument, together with the amendment, if appropriate, of directives already in existence. These are certainly only the first steps in a more comprehensive legislative approach which, if it is to be completely successful, will have to follow the directions of the rules on the conflict of laws (Rome I) and European Contract Law (Common Frame of Reference).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated within the context of the ongoing debate about European contract law, this book provides a detailed examination of the European Union's competence in the field of contract law. It analyses the limits of Union competence in relation to several relevant Treaty provisions which potentially confer competence on the Union to adopt a comprehensive contract law instrument and the exercise of Union competence in connection with the operation of the principles of subsidiarity, proportionality and sincere cooperation. It also explores the viability of several alternative and complementary routes to the adoption of such an instrument, including enhanced cooperation, an intergovernmental treaty and certain American techniques. Setting forth an elaborate account of the context for this debate and its chronological development at the European level, this book charts the discussions relating to the European Union's competence to regulate contract law and offers a comparative analysis of the approach taken to the approximation of contract law in the American setting. Setting forth a detailed account of the context for this debate and its chronological development at the European level, the book charts the discussions that have occurred within and outside the EU relating to the transnational competence to regulate contract law. Situating European constitutional law within the continued debate about European contract law, it also reflects upon the contract law structure of the United States and examines the viability of alternative and complementary routes to the adoption of a comprehensive instrument of substantive contract law.
