On Monday 9 October, the Council of the EU adopted the final text of the new Consumer Credit Directive. This will repeal the current Directive 2008/48/EC of 23 April 2008 on credit agreements for consumers. The new Directive seeks to ensure a higher level of protection for consumers in the European Union and to promote the development of a single credit market.
This concludes the processing of the CCD, pending its publication in the OJEU.
