Recurring themes include the artificiality of the EU’s consumer image, the problems created by the drive towards maximum harmonisation, and the unexpected effects EU Consumer Law has had on national law. The book argues that EU Consumer Law has the potential of enhancing the protecting of consumers throughout the EU and could offer a model for consumer law elsewhere in the world, but in order to unlock this potential, there needs to be a rethink with regard to the EU’s approach to consumer law and policy.Markets and the law.Consumer protectionLaw and legislationEuropean Union countriesConsumer protectionLaw and legislation343.2407/120.08.12EP-CLASSHowells Geraint438270Twigg-Flesner Christian1975-Wilhelmsson Thomas1949-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910372754503321Rethinking EU consumer law3875008UNINA
