Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
(1) The purpose of this Directive is to enable qualified entities, which represent the collective interest of consumers, to seek remedy through representative actions against infringements of provisions of Union law. The qualified entities should be able to ask for stopping or prohibiting an infringement, for confirming that an infringement took place and to seek redress for the economic and non-economic damages, such as compensation, repair or price reduction as available under national laws.

Recital 2
(2) Directive 2009/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council29 enabled qualified entities to bring representative actions primarily aimed at stopping and prohibiting infringements of Union law harmful to the collective interests of consumers. However, that Directive did not sufficiently address the challenges for the enforcement of consumerUnion law. To improve the deterrence of unlawful practices and to reduce consumer or citizen detriment, it is necessary to strengthen the mechanism for protection of collective interests of consumers or citizens. Given the numerous changes, for the sake of clarity it is appropriate to replace Directive 2009/22/EC.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
(7) The Commission has adopted legislative proposals for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights and Regulation (EC) No 2027/97 on air carrier liability in respect of the carriage of passengers and their baggage by air30 and for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on rail passengers' rights and obligations.31 It is therefore appropriate to provide that, one year after the entry into force of this Directive, the Commission assesses whether the Union rules in the area of air and rail passengers' rights offer an adequate level of protection for consumers, comparable to that provided for in this Directive, and draws any necessary conclusions as regards the scope of this Directive. _________________ 30 31deleted COM(2013) 130 final.

Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3
(3) A representative action should offer an effective and efficient way of protecting the collective interests of consumers or citizens. It should allow qualified entities to act with the aim of ensuring compliance with relevant provisions of Union law and to overcome the obstacles faced by consumers or citizens within individual actions, such as the uncertainty about their rights and available procedural mechanisms, psychological reluctance to take action and the negative balance of the expected costs and benefits of the individual action.

Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) It is important to ensure the necessary balance between access to justice and procedural safeguards against abusive litigation which could unjustifiably hinder the ability of businesses to operate in the Single Market. To prevent the misuse of representative actions, elements such as punitive damages and the absence of limitations as regards the entitlement to bring an action on behalf of the harmed consumers or citizens should be avoided and clear rules on various procedural aspects, such as the designation of qualified entities, the origin of their funds and nature of the information required to support the representative action, should be laid down. The unsuccessful party should bear the costs of the proceedings. However, the court or tribunal should not award costs to the unsuccessful party to the extent that they were unnecessarily incurred or are disproportionate to the claim. This Directive should not affect otherwise national rules concerning the allocation of procedural costs.

Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 5
(5) Infringements that affect the collective interests of consumers or citizens often have cross-border implications. More effective and efficient representative actions available across the Union should boost consumer confidence in the internal market and empower consumers to exercise their rights. Moreover, it should enhance the efficiency of the Member States’ justice systems.

Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 6
(6) This Directive should cover a variety of areas such as data protection, financial services, travel and tourism, energy, telecommunications, competition and environment. ItTherefore, Member States should ensure that organisations representing all these subject areas can be designated as qualified entities. The Directive should cover infringements of provisions of Union law which protect the interests of consumers and citizens, regardless of whether they are referred to as consumers or citizens as travellers, users, customers, retail investors, retail clients or other in the relevant Union law. To ensure adequate response to infringement to Union law, the form and scale of which is quickly evolving, it should be considered, each time where a new Union act relevant for the protection of the collective interests of consumers is adopted, whether to amend the Annex to the present Directive in order to place it under its scope.

Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) To increase the procedural effectiveness of representative actions, qualified entities should have the possibility to seek different measures within a single representative action or within separate representative actions. These measures should include interim measures for stopping an ongoing practice or prohibiting a practice in case the practice has not been carried out but there is a risk that it would cause serious or irreversible harm to consumers, measures establishing that a given practice constitutes an infringement of law and, if necessary, stopping or prohibiting the practice for the future, as well as measures eliminating the continuing effects of the infringement, including redress. If sought within a single action, qualified entities should be able to seek all relevant measures at the moment of bringing the action or first seek relevant injunctions order and subsequently and if appropriate redress order.

Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) Building on Directive 2009/22/EC, this Directive should cover both domestic and cross-border infringements, in particular when consumers or citizens concerned by an infringement live in one or several Member States other than the Member State where the infringing trader is established. It should also cover infringements which ceased before the representative action started or concluded, since it may still be necessary to prevent the repetition of the practice, establish that a given practice constituted an infringement and facilitate consumer or citizen redress.

Committee: JURI
Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 19
(19) Member States should be allowed to decide whether their court or national authority seized of a representative action for redress may exceptionally issue, instead of a redress order, a declaratory decision regarding the liability of the trader towards the consumers harmed by an infringement which could be directly relied upon in subsequent redress actions by individual consumers. This possibility should be reserved to duly justified cases where the quantification of the individual redress to be attributed to each of the consumer concerned by the representative action is complex and it would be inefficient to carry it out within the representative action. Declaratory decisions should not be issued in situations which are not complex and in particular where consumers concerned are identifiable and where the consumers have suffered a comparable harm in relation to a period of time or a purchase. Similarly, declaratory decisions should not be issued where the amount of loss suffered by each of the individual consumers is so small that individual consumers are unlikely to claim for individual redress. The court or the national authority should duly motivate its recourse to a declaratory decision instead of a redress order in a particular case.deleted

Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) This Directive should not establish rules of private international law regarding jurisdiction, the recognition and enforcement of judgments or applicable law. The existing Union law instruments apply to the representative actions set out by this Directive preventing any increase in forum shopping.

Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) As only qualified entities can bring the representative actions, to ensure that the collective interests of consumers or citizens are adequately represented the qualified entities should comply with the criteria established by this Directive. In particular, they would need to be properly constituted according to the law of a Member State, which could include for example requirements regarding the number of members, the degree of permanence, or transparency requirements on relevant aspects of their structure such as their constitutive statutes, management structure, objectives and working methods. They should also be not for profit and have a legitimate interest in ensuring compliance with the relevant Union law. These criteria should apply to both qualified entities designated in advance and to ad hoc qualified entities that are constituted for the purpose of a specific action.

Committee: JURI
Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
(11) Independent public bodies and consumer, consumer organisations, environmental organisations and human rights organisations in particular should play an active role in ensuring compliance with relevant provisions of Union law and are all well placed to act as qualified entities. Since these entities have access to different sources of information regarding traders' practices towards consumers or citizens and hold different priorities for their activities, Member States should be free to decide on the types of measures that may be sought by each of these qualified entities in representative actions.
2018/11/08
Committee: JURI
Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 22
(22) Measures aimed at eliminating the continuing effects of the infringement may be sought only on the basis of a final decision, establishing an infringement of Union law covered by the scope of this Directive harming collective interest of consumers, including a final injunction order issued within the representative action. In particular. For example, measures eliminating the continuing effects of the infringement may be sought on the basis of final decisions of a court or administrative authority in the context of enforcement activities regulated by Regulation (EU) 2017/2394 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017 on cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004.32 _________________ 32 OJ L 345, 27.12.2017.

Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) Since both judicial and administrative procedures may effectively and efficiently serve the protection of the collective interests of consumers or citizens it is left to the discretion of the Member States whether the representative action can be brought in judicial or administrative proceedings, or both, depending on the relevant area of law or relevant economic sector. This shall be without prejudice to the right to an effective remedy under Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, whereby Member States shall ensure that consumers, citizens and businesses have the right to an effective remedy before a court or tribunal, against any administrative decision taken pursuant to national provisions implementing this Directive. This shall include the possibility for the parties to obtain a decision granting suspension of enforcement of the disputed decision, in accordance with national law.

Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) Injunction orders aim at the protection of the collective interests of consumers or citizens independently of any actual loss or damage suffered by individual consumers or citizens. Injunction orders may require traders to take specific action, such as providing consumers or citizens with the information previously omitted in violation of legal obligations. Decisions establishing that a practice constitutes an infringement should not depend on whether the practice was committed intentionally or by negligence.
2018/11/08
Committee: JURI
Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
(15) The qualified entity initiating the representative action under this Directive should be a party to the proceedings. Consumers or citizens concerned by the infringement should have adequate opportunities to benefit from the relevant outcomes of the representative action. Injunction orders issued under this Directive should be without prejudice to individual actions brought by consumers or citizens harmed by the practice subject to the injunction order.
2018/11/08
Committee: JURI
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) The compensation awarded to consumers or citizens harmed in a mass harm situation should not exceed the amount owed by the trader in accordance with the applicable national or Union Law in order to cover the actual harm suffered by them. In particular, punitive damages, leading to overcompensation in favour of the claimant party of the damage suffered, should be avoided.

Committee: JURI
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) Member States may require qualified entities to provide sufficient information to support a representative action for redress, including a description of the group of consumers or citizens concerned by an infringement and the questions of fact and law to be resolved within the representative action. The qualified entity should not be required to individually identify all consumers or citizens concerned by an infringement in order to initiate the action. In representative actions for redress the court or administrative authority should verify at the earliest possible stage of the proceedings whether the case is suitable for being brought as a representative action, given the nature of the infringement and characteristics of the damages suffered by consumers or citizens concerned.

Amendment 123 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 20
(20) Where consumers or citizens concerned by the same practice are identifiable and they suffered comparable harm in relation to a period of time or a purchase, such as in the case of long-term consumer contracts, the court or administrative authority may clearly define the group of consumers or citizens concerned by the infringement in the course of the representative action. In particular, the court or administrative authority could ask the infringing trader to provide relevant information, such as the identity of the consumers or citizens concerned and the duration of the practice. For expediency and efficiency reasons, in these cases Member States in accordance with their national laws could consider to provide consumers or citizens with the possibility to directly benefit from a redress order after it was issued without being required to give their individual mandate before the redress order is issued.

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – paragraph 2
2. This Directive shallaims at minimum harmonisation and shall therefore not prevent Member States from adopting or maintaining in force provisions designed to grant qualified entities or any other persons concerned other procedural means to bring actions aimed at the protection of the collective interests of consumers at national level.

Amendment 132 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
(21) In low-value cases most consumers or citizens are unlikely to take action in order to enforce their rights because the efforts would outweigh the individual benefits. However, if the same practice concerns a number of consumers or citizens, the aggregated loss may be significant. In such cases, a court or authority may consider that it is disproportionate to distribute the funds back to the consumers or citizens concerned, for example because it is too onerous or impracticable. Therefore the funds received as redress through representative actions would better serve the purposes of the protection of collective interests of consumers or citizens and should be directed to athis relevant public purpose, such as a consumer or citizens legal aid fund, awareness campaigns or consumer movements.

(24) This Directive aims at a minimum harmonisation and does not replace existing national collective redress mechanisms. Taking into account their legal traditions, it leaves it to the discretion of the Member States whether to design the representative action set out by this Directive as a part of an existing or future collective redress mechanism or as an alternative to these mechanisms, insofar as the national mechanism complies with the modalities set by this Directive.

(26) Collective out-of-court settlements aimed at providing redress to harmed consumers or citizens should be encouraged both before the representative action is brought and at any stage of the representative action. This possibility should under no circumstances jeopardize the right to access to justice.

Amendment 150 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 27
(27) Member States may provide that a qualified entity and a trader who have reached a settlement regarding redress for consumers or citizens affected by an allegedly illegal practice of that trader can jointly request a court or administrative authority to approve it. Such request should be admitted by the court or administrative authority only if there is no other ongoing representative action regarding the same practice. A competent court or administrative authority approving such collective settlement must take into consideration the interests and rights of all parties concerned, including individual consumers. Individual consumers or citizens concerned shall be given the possibility to accept or to refuse to be bound by such a settlement.

Amendment 154 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 28
(28) The court and administrative authority should have the power to invite the infringing trader and the qualified entity which brought the representative action to enter into negotiations aimed at reaching a settlement on redress to be provided to consumers or citizens concerned. The decision of whether to invite the parties to settle a dispute out-of- court should take into account the type of the infringement to which the action relates, the characteristics of the consumers or citizens concerned, the possible type of redress to be offered, the willingness of the parties to settle and the expediency of the procedure.

Committee: JURI
Amendment 157 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 29
(29) In order to facilitate redress for individual consumers or citizens sought on the basis of final declaratory decisions regarding the liability of the trader towards the consumers harmed by an infringement issued within representative actions, the court or administrative authority that issued the decision should be empowered to request the qualified entity and the trader to reach a collective settlement.

Amendment 159 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 30
(30) Any out-of-court settlement reached within the context of a representative action or based on a final declaratory decision should be approved by the relevant court or the administrative authority to ensure its legality and fairness, taking into consideration the interests and rights of all parties concerned. Individual consumers or citizens concerned shall be given the possibility to accept or to refuse to be bound by such a settlement.

Committee: JURI
Amendment 164 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 31
(31) Ensuring that consumers or citizens are informed about a representative action is crucial for its success. Consumers or citizens should be informed of ongoing representative action, the fact that a trader's practice has been considered as a breach of law, their rights following the establishment of an infringement and any subsequent steps to be taken by consumers or citizens concerned, particularly for obtaining redress. The reputational risks associated with spreading information about the infringement are also important for deterring traders infringing consumer or citizens’ rights.
2018/11/08
Committee: JURI
Amendment 166 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 32
(32) To be effective, the information should be adequate and proportional to the circumstances of the case. The infringing trader should adequately inform all consumers or citizens concerned of a final injunction and redress orders issued within the representative action as well as of a settlement approved by a court or administrative authority. Such information may be provided for instance on the trader's website, social media, online market places, or in popular newspapers, including those distributed exclusively by electronic means of communication. If possible, consumers or citizens should be informed individually through electronic or paper letters. This information should be provided in accessible formats for persons with disabilities upon request.

Amendment 175 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 35
(35) Actions for redress based on the establishment of an infringement by a final injunction order or by a final declaratory decision regarding the liability of the trader towards the harmed consumers or citizens under this Directive should not be hindered by national rules on limitation periods. The submission of a representative action shall have the effect of suspending or interrupting the limitation periods for any redress actions for the consumers concerned by this action.

Committee: JURI
Amendment 180 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 37
(37) Evidence is an important element for establishing whether a given practice constitutes an infringement of law, whether there is a risk of its repetition, for determining the consumers or citizens concerned by an infringement, deciding on redress and adequately informing consumers or citizens concerned by a representative action about the ongoing proceedings and its final outcomes. However, business-to-consumer or business-to-citizens relationships are characterised by information asymmetry and the necessary information may be held exclusively by the trader, making it inaccessible to the qualified entity. Qualified entities should therefore be afforded the right to request to the competent court or administrative authority the disclosure by the trader of evidence relevant to their claim or needed for adequately informing consumers or citizens concerned about the representative action, without it being necessary for them to specify individual items of evidence. The need, scope and proportionality of such disclosure should be carefully assessed by the court or administrative authority overseeing the representative action having regard to the protection of legitimate interests of third parties and subject to the applicable Union and national rules on confidentiality.

Committee: JURI
Amendment 184 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 39
(39) Having regard to the fact that representative actions pursue a public interest by protecting the collective interests of consumers or citizens, Member States should ensure that qualified entities are not prevented from bringing representative actions under this Directive because of the costs involved with the procedures.

Committee: JURI
Amendment 191 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 41
(41) In order to effectively tackle infringements with cross-border implications the mutual recognition of the legal standing of qualified entities designated in advance in one Member State to seek representative action in another Member State should be ensured. Furthermore, qualified entities from different Member States should be able to join forces within a single representative action in front of a single forum, subject to relevant rules on competent jurisdiction. For reasons of efficiency and effectiveness, one qualified entity should be able to bring a representative action in the name of other qualified entities representing consumers or citizens from different Member States.

Amendment 196 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 44
(44) The objectives of this Directive, namely establishing a representative action mechanism for the protection of the collective interests of consumers or citizens in order to ensure a high level of consumer or citizens protection across the Union and the proper functioning of the internal market, cannot be sufficiently achieved by actions taken exclusively by Member States, but can rather, due to cross-border implications of representative actions, be better achieved at Union level. The Union may therefore adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

A Member State may require the mandate of the individual consumers concerned before a declaratory decision is made or a redress order is issuedredress order is issued. . If a Member State does not require a mandate of the individual consumer to join the representative action, this Member State shall nevertheless allow those individuals who are not habitually resident in the Member State where the action occurs, to participate in the representative action, in case they expressed their willingness to be part of the representative action within the applicable time limit.

The redress shall be directed to the consumers concerned; (b) consumers have suffered a small amount of loss and it would be disproportionate to distribute the redress to them.
