In particular, it assesses whether the consumer benchmarks are suitable in terms of achieving the three goals of the Directive: achieving a high level of consumer protection, increasing the smooth functioning of the internal market, and improving competition in the market as such. In addition to providing a thorough analysis of the consumer benchmarks and their relationship to the goals of the Directive, at a more practical level, the book provides insight into the working and consequences of the benchmarks that can be used in the evaluation of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive and its application by the CJEU. This assessment is important because the Directive, while promising to regulate unfair commercial practices in a way that achieves the Directive?s goals, has removed the possibility for Member States to regulate unfair commercial practices themselves. 410 0$aStudies in European Economic Law and Regulation,$x2214-2037 ;$v5 606 $aLaw?Europe 606 $aCivil law 606 $aInternational law 606 $aTrade 606 $aMass media 606 $aLaw 606 $aMedical laws and legislation 606 $aPrivate international law 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aEuropean Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20000 606 $aCivil Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R1200X 606 $aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19050 606 $aIT Law, Media Law, Intellectual Property$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R15009 606 $aMedical Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R16005 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 615 0$aLaw?Europe. 615 0$aCivil law. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aTrade. 615 0$aMass media. 615 0$aLaw. 615 0$aMedical laws and legislation. 615 0$aPrivate international law. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 14$aEuropean Law. 615 24$aCivil Law. 615 24$aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law. 615 24$aIT Law, Media Law, Intellectual Property. 615 24$aMedical Law. 615 24$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 676 $a341.753 700 $aDuivenvoorde$b Bram B$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01230047 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483874103321 996 $aThe Consumer Benchmarks in the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive$92855258 997 $aUNINA
