Proposal for a directive
Article 2 – paragraph 2 a (new)

2a. Member States shall ensure that the decision taken by the ADR entity is binding on the parties only if they were informed of its binding nature in advance and specifically accepted this. Member States shall ensure that agreements between consumers and traders to submit complaints to an ADR entity do not deprive consumers of their right to go to court to settle the dispute. This Directive establishes a harmonised minimum standard of alternative dispute resolution procedure in order to ensure that consumers have access to high-quality, transparent, effective and fair redress mechanisms, in every economic and trading sector for every kind of internal market goods and services, no matter where the consumers and traders reside in the Union. Member States may adopt or maintain in force more stringent provisions, compatible with the TFEU, in the field covered by this Directive to ensure a higher level of consumer protection.
