Abstract

On 11 April 2018, the European Commission presented its "New Deal for Consumers". The "New Deal" addresses four key areas: (1) General improvements to Consumer Protection rules (2) An increased ability to impose sanctions on traders who fail to comply with consumer protection rules (3) The introduction of a representative action (4) Taking action to stop "dual quality" goods (i.e., goods sold under one brand etc. but of varying levels of quality in different Member States). The focus of this contribution is on (1), (2) and (4), which are all dealt with by the proposal for the Modernisation Directive.
