Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
(1) The purpose of this Directive is to enable qualified entities, which represent the collective interest of consumers in the cross-border cases, to seek remedy through representative actions against widespread cross-border infringements of provisions of Union law. The qualified entitie, which are common to at least 100 consumers in at least 2 Member States. The qualified entities that have received specific and exclusive mandates from consumers should be able to ask for stopping or prohibiting an infringement, for confirming that an infringement took place and to seek redress, such as compensation, repair or price reduction as available under national laws.

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 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. This Directive should not affect national rules concerning the allocation of procedural costs.

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, onetwo years after the entry into force of this Directivee mentioned revised regulations, 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 COM(2013) 130 final. 31 COM(2017) 548 final.

Amendment 75 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) Building on Directive 2009/22/EC, tThis Directive should cover both domestic and cross- border infringements, in particular when consumers 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 redress.

Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) As only qualified entities can bring the representative actions, to ensure that the collective interests of consumers 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 actionFurthermore, the qualified entity must be independent of third parties and have sufficient capacity in terms of financial resources, human resources, and legal expertise to represent multiple consumers acting in their best interest. The qualified entity must also have an established procedure to prevent conflict of interests, and it must publish an annual activity report. In particular, in order to ensure sufficient transparency the annual activity report should include at a minimum information about the number of actions launched and the types of injunctions and redress measures sought, the number of redress decisions in favour of consumers and the trader, and or the actions resolved by settlement, the number of representative actions which have been discontinued and the reasons behind it. Member States may require additional information to be provided in the annual activity report.

Recital 11
(11) IOnly independent public bodies and consumer organisations in particular should play an active role in ensuring compliance with relevant provisions of Union law and are all well placcan be allowed to act as qualified entities. Since these entities have access to different sources of information regarding traders' practices towards consumers 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.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) Injunction orders aim at the protection of the collective interests of consumers independently of any actual loss or damage suffered by individual consumers. Injunction ordersand may require traders to take specific action, such as providing consumers 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.

Amendment 110 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) Member States mayshould require qualified entities to provide sufficient information to support a representative action for redress, including a description of the group of consumers 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 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 concerned. In particular, the claims should be ascertainable and uniform and there should be a commonality in the measures sought, the action should represent at least 100 individual consumers from at least two Member States, a representative action should be the most suitable way to bring forward the claims in the interest of multiple consumers, in particular if seeking redress measures by the individual consumers would create a risk of inconsistent decisions, individual consumers should be able to be identified and informed of the representation action in an adequate way, any third-party funding arrangement of the qualified entity should be suitable and fair, in particular the remuneration for the funder should be clearly stated and based on the redress effectively paid to consumers and not on the amount claimed or awarded by the court or settlement. Member States should also ensure that the court or administrative authority has the authority to dismiss manifestly unfounded cases at the earliest possible stage of litigation.

Amendment 120 #
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 justifiedmay in particular be applied to 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.

Amendment 122 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 20
(20) Where consumers 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 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 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 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.deleted

Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
(21) In low-value cases most consumers 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, 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 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 and should be directed to a relevant public purpose, such as a consumer legal aid fund, awareness campaigns or consumer movements.deleted

Amendment 142 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 24
(24) This Directive concerns only cross- border cases 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.

Amendment 144 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 25
(25) Qualified entities should be fully transparent about the source of funding of their activity in general and regarding the funds supporting a specific representative action for redress in order to enable courts or administrative authorities to assess whether there may be a conflict of interest between the third party funder and the qualified entity and to avoid risks of abusive litigation as well as to assess whether the funding third parqualified entity has sufficient resources in order to meet its financial commitments to the qualified entityobligations should the action fail. The information provided by the qualified entity at the earliest stage of the proceeding to the court or administrative authority overseeing the representative action should enable it to assess whether theany third party may influence procedural decisions of the qualified entity in general and in the context of the representative action, including on settlements and whether it provides financing for a representative action for redress against a defendant who is a competitor of the fund provider or against a defendant on whom the fund provider is dependant. If any of these circumstances is confirmed, the court or administrative authority shouldmust be empowered to require the qualified entity to refuse the relevant funding and, if necessary, reject standing of the qualified entity in a specific case. or stay proceedings. Member States should provide that where third party funding is permitted and in order to avoid the risks of abusive litigation Member States should be able to implement a licencing system through a public authority by which third party funders are licensed and subject to strict professional obligations and registered in a public registry for funders. Where such systems exist, Member States should ensure that third party funders have a legal obligation to act in the best interest of the qualified entity and the consumers it represents (fiduciary duty). Furthermore, Member States should prohibit third party funders and law firms from establishing qualified entities, law firms from owning third party funders and vice versa, and third party funders from basing remuneration on the settled or awarded compensation.

Amendment 151 #
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 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 concerned shall be given the possibility to accept or to refuse to be bound by such a settlementSettlements should be final and binding for all the concerned consumers.

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 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 concerned, the possible type of redress to be offered, the willingness of the parties to settle, in particular any actions with an impact on the procedural costs and on the legal fees to be borne by the parties, the impact on any funding arrangements and the compensation to be effectively paid to consumers, and the expediency of the procedure.

Individual consumers concerned shall be given the possibility to accept or to refuse to be bound by such a settlementThe settlement precludes any additional individual or collective rights for redress of consumers that have specifically and exclusively mandated the collective action.

Amendment 162 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 31
(31) Ensuring that consumers are informed about a representative action is crucial for its success. Consumers 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 concerned, particularly for obtaining redress. The reputational risks associated with spreading information about the infringement are also important for deterring traders infringing consumer rights.

(32) To be effective, the information should be adequate and proportional to the circumstances of the case. The infringing trader shouldMember States should ensure that the court or the administrative authority may require the defeated party to adequately inform all consumers concerned of a final decision concerning injunction and redress orders issued within the representative action, as well and both parties in cases 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 should be informed individually through electronic or paper letters. This information should be provided in accessible formats for persons with disabilities upon request.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 33
(33) To enhance legal certainty, avoid inconsistency in the application of Union law and to increase the effectiveness and procedural efficiency of representative actions and of possible follow-on actions for redress, the finding of an infringement or a non-infringement established in a final decision, including a final injunction order under this Directive, issued by an administrative authority or a court should not be relitigated in subsequent legal actions related to the same infringement or non-infringement by the same trader as regards the nature of the infringement or non-infringement and its material, personal, temporal and territorial scope as determined by that final decision. Where an action seeking measures eliminating the continuing effects of the infringement, including for redress, is brought in a Member State other than the Member State where a final decision establishing this infringement or non-infringement was issued, the decision should constitute a rebuttable presumption that the infringement has occurredmay be considered as evidence that the infringement has or has not occurred in related cases.

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 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, who have given their specific and exclusive mandate to a qualified entity to be represented in such an action.

Amendment 178 #
(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 concerned by an infringement, deciding on redress and adequately informing consumers concerned by a representative action about the ongoing proceedings and its final outcomes. However, business-to- consumer relationships are characterised by information asymmetry and the necessary information may be held exclusively by either the trader, making it inaccessible to the qualified entity. Qualified enti or the qualified entity, or the consumers it represents, making it inaccessible to the other party. The parties should therefore be afforded the right to request, upon presenting a substantiated explanation to the competent court or administrative authority the disclosure by the trader of evidence relevant to their claim or needed for adequately informing consumers concerned about the representative action, without it being necessary for them to specify individual items of evidenceother party of specific and clearly defined evidence relevant to their claim. 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. Member States should ensure that the court or administrative authority verify that the requested evidence is narrowly and precisely circumscribed based on reasonable and available facts. In particular, the court or the administrative authority should assess the relationship between the claim or defence and the requested evidence, the scope and cost of the disclosure, and whether the evidence sought contains any confidential or privilege information protected under relevant national laws.

Recital 39
(39) Having regard to the fact that representative actions pursue a public interest by protecting the collective interests of consumers, 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. However, subject to the relevant conditions under national provisions, this should be without prejudice to the fact that the party that loses a representative action reimburses necessary legal costs borne by the winning party (‘loser pays principle’). The unsuccessful party should bear the costs of the proceedings. However, the court or administrative authority should not award costs to the successful party to the extent that they were unnecessarily incurred or are disproportionate to the claim.

(39a) Member States should ensure that contingency fees are avoided and lawyers’ remuneration and the method by which it is calculated do no create any incentive to litigation that is unnecessary from the point of view of the interest of consumers or any of the parties concerned and could prevent consumers to fully benefit from the representative action. The Member States that allow for contingency fees should ensure that such fees do not prevent obtaining full compensation by consumers.

Amendment 190 #
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, provided that qualified entities can demonstrate the relevant accreditation of their standing issued in the country of their domicile. 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 from different Member States that have given a specific and exclusive mandate for bringing the specific action.
