Directive 2005/29/EC, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, is a major reform of the law concerning unfair business practices in the European Union. Like any European Union Directive, it needs national rules to incorporate it in each national legal system (English, Scottish, French law etc.), although even without that it may have some effect in national law. Generally speaking, it will be difficult to predict exactly what the impact of this directive will be in a particular country without consulting the national implementing laws. In some states those laws may not yet exist.

“Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it—an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
