Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Verband Sozialer Wettbewerb eV
Defendant: famila-Handelsmarkt Kiel GmbH & Co. KG
Operative part of the judgment
Article 2(a) of Directive 98/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 on consumer protection in the indication of the prices of products offered to consumers
must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘selling price’ laid down in that provision does not include the amount of the deposit payable by the consumer when purchasing goods in returnable containers.
