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.
