The Act transposes the EU directive concerning dishonest trade practices related to transactions between enterprises and consumers. The directive defines in general terms a dishonest trade practice, sets out the rules for evaluating whether a trade practice is dishonest, and stipulates the prohibition to use dishonest trade practices vis à vis the consumers. The aim is to enhance the functioning of the internal market, to render international trade easier for enterprises, to harmonise the level of consumer protection of Member States and to make consumer rights clearer. The Act enters into force on 12 December 2007.
