Injunctions for the protection of consumers' interests. Codification

PURPOSE : to codify the EU Directive on injunctions for the protection of consumer's interests. CONTENT : the basis of this proposal lies in the various measures the EU has adopted to try and codify legislation in the event of ten (or less) amendments being made to an initial legislative act. This proposal recommends the codification of Directive 98/27/EC on injunctions for the protection of consumer's rights. It will be based on an accelerated fast track procedure for the adoption of codification instruments. The new Directive will supersede the various Directives incorporated in it. Their content is fully preserved, and they are brought together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself. The proposal follows preliminary consultation in all official languages. In so far as the Articles have been given new numbers, the correlation between the old and the new number is shown in a table contained in an Annex to the codified Directive.�
