Recital 3

(3) Differences in national ~~mandatory~~ consumer contract law rules ~~and a lack of~~may clrea~~r contract law rules are among the key obstacles which hinde~~te a challenge for the development of the international supply of digital content,; a~~s very few tailor-made rules exist at Union level. Businesses face additional costs stemming from differences in national mandatory consumer contract law ru~~ trade challenge and a legal challenge, which are not insurmountables and legal uncertainty when selling digital content across borders. Businesses also face costs when adapting their contracts to specific mandatory rules for the supply of digital content are already emerging in several Member States, creating differences in scope and content between specific national rules governing thesewhich are part and parcel of international trade. International trade does not preclude partnerships and cooperation between different countr~~acts. In those Member States where there are not yet specific rules for the supply of digital content, traders willing~~ies to promote trade between two ~~sell cross-border face uncertainty~~chosen markets, asnd the~~y will often not know which rules apply to digital content in the Member State they want to export to, nor the content of those rules and whether they are mandatory~~reby encouraging trade and reducing the additional costs borne by enterprises.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 4

(4) Consumers are not confident when buying cross border and especially online. One of the major factors for this lack of confidence is uncertainty about their key contractual rights and the lack of a clear contractual framework for digital content. Many consumers of digital content experience problems related to the quality of, or access to, digital content. For instance, they receive wrong or faulty digital content, or they are not able to access the digital content in question. As a result, consumers suffer financial and non-financial detriment.deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 6

(6) Fully harmonised consumer contract law rules in all Member States will make it easier for businesses to offer digital content cross-border. They will have a stable contract law environment when selling online and otherwise at a distance to other Member States. Fully harmonised rules specific for digital content throughout the EU will remove the complexity caused by the different national rules that currently apply to contracts for the supply of digital content. They will also prevent legal fragmentation that otherwise would arise from new national legislations regulating specifically digital content.deleted

Recital 7

(7) Consumers will benefit from fully harmonised rights for digital content at a high level of protection. They will have clear rights when they receive or access digital content from anywhere in the EU. This will increase their confidence in buying digital content. This will also contribute to reducing the detriment consumers currently suffer, since there will be a set of clear rights that will enable them to address problems they face with digital content.deleted
