• Resumen

  • Recently, two EU instruments relating to business-to-consumer (B2C) relationships have been adopted: a new consumer sales directive and a directive on the supply of digital content. Three further EU instruments are in the pipeline: the so-called Omnibus Directive and a directive on collective redress together known as the ‘New Deal for Consumer’, and a Platform-to-Business regulation (P2B). This editorial aims to give a brief overview and a prima facie evaluation of the content of these instruments and to invite contributions offering a more in-depth analysis of the new rules and their expected impact.
