EC Consumer Law Compendium: The Consumer Acquis and Its Transposition in the Member States

The EC Consumer Law Compendium presents the results of a wide-ranging study prepared for the European Commission. This compendium provides the reader with the necessary information for conducting pan-European, cross-border, consumer transactions. For the first time, the transposition of eight key consumer directives into the national laws of all Member States is analyzed, including those on sales, unfair terms, distance, and door-to-door sales, as well as package travel, and timeshare. The findings of this study reveal substantial differences between the various national implementing measures as a result of utilizing minimum harmonization clauses and regulatory options.
