    Cdiscount SA

    Operative part of the order

    Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market and amending Council Directive 84/450/EEC, Directives 97/7/EC, 98/27/EC and 2002/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Unfair Commercial Practices Directive’) must be interpreted as precluding provisions of national law, such as those at issue in the main proceedings, which lay down a general prohibition of announcements of price reductions which do not show the reference price when the price is marked or displayed, without providing for an assessment case by case allowing it to be determined whether the announcements are unfair, in so far as those provisions pursue objectives relating to consumer protection. It is for the referring court to determine whether that is so in the case in the main proceedings.


    (1)  OJ C 107, 30.3.2015.
