The Unfair Commercial Practices Directive1 lays down rules that prohibit certain practices across the EU, e.g. misleading and aggressive marketing practices. This legislation also aims to protect vulnerable groups of consumers, such as children, against advertising that directly encourages them to buy. The overall goal of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive is to clarify consumer rights and to simplify cross-border trade. The Directive's scope is wide. It covers all business-to-consumer transactions. A trader has to provide certain basic, factual information to a consumer prior to a contemplated purchase transaction, including the key characteristics of the product, data about price, delivery costs and the right of withdrawal.2 The listed items do not include information regarding the conditions under which a product has been produced.
