information:
Unfair Commercial
Practices - An analysis of
the existing national laws on
unfair commercial practices
between business and
consumers in the new Member
States
Introduction
The Unfair Commercial
Practices (UCP) Directive was
adopted in May 2005. It will
be applicable in the Member
States by December 2007.
These reports provide an
analysis of the existing
national rules, including
case-law, on unfair
commercial practices by
business affecting consumers
in the ten new Member States.
They complement previous
studies on national fairness
laws in the European Union.
The
General Report
contains an overview of the
national regulatory
frameworks on unfair
commercial practices (e.g.
general clauses, definitions,
provisions on misleading
advertising and aggressive
practices). The
National Reports
provide more detailed
information on the national
laws as well as an overview
of cases, decisions and codes
of conduct.
