Consultation on Proposed EU Directive on Certain Aspects Concerning Consumer Contracts for the Supply of Digital Content [COM (2015) 634]

The Department welcomes views on the proposed Directive on Certain Aspects Concerning Consumer Contracts for the Supply of Digital Content. The Directive lays down certain requirements concerning digital content contracts, in particular provisions on the conformity of digital content with the contract and remedies where digital content does not conform with the contract. The proposal includes a full harmonisation clause which provides that Member States shall not maintain or introduce provisions in national legislation that diverge from those in the Directive.

Responses to the consultation should be returned by close of business on Friday, 15th April 2016.
