Recommendation 97/489/EC
concerning transactions carried out by electronic
payment instruments and in particular the relationship between holder
and issuer
This study has been undertaken under contract to the
European Commission in response to Call for Tender XV/99/01/C by a
consortium of 10 European partners led by CRID, University of Namur and
the IT Law Unit, Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary
University of London. It assesses the implementation of Recommendation
97/489/EC of 30 July 1997 concerning transactions carried out by
electronic payment instruments and in particular the relationship
between issuer and holder in the 15 Member States of the European Union.
The aims of the study were to investigate how far the
Recommendation has been effective in improving the position of EPI
holders, both as a matter of substantive law and in actual practice :
-
To produce a scientific analysis of the implementation
of the Recommendation in each Member State
-
To establish the major differences between the terms
and conditions on which EPIs are issued and the day-to-day practice of
issuers
