Three new guidance notices for Christmas

The European Commission has been busy in the past months and this resulted, amongst other things, in a publication of three new guidance notices, respectively concerning the interpretation of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, Consumer Rights Directive and Price Indication Directive. It will take some time to go through the hundreds of pages provided in these documents, but it is good to see that at a glance many of the current questions that the digitalisation raises are being tackled (such as personalised pricing, influencer marketing), as well as that there are some paragraphs on consumer protection (UCPD) dealing with the environmental claims.

All three documents may be found here.
