Harmoniseringen af betingelserne for at annullere en kontrakt samt forbuddet mod urimelig handelspraksis, såsom forudbetaling i betænkningstiden, og kravet om at fremlægge en nøjagtig, tydelig og læselig kontrakt på det sprog, som køberen ønsker, udgør derfor et betydeligt fremskridt for forbrugerbeskyttelse og handlefrihed.
The harmonisation of conditions for withdrawal from a contract, as well as the prohibition of unfair commercial practices, such as advance payments during the cooling-off period, and the requirement to provide an accurate, clear and legible contract in the chosen language of the purchaser, therefore constitute significant progress in consumer protection and empowerment.
