Contracts for the Supply of Digital Content
The digital content directive was proposed by the European Commission as part of a legislative package, alongside the online sales directive, to facilitate the development of the internal market for such content. The Council agreed on a general approach on the proposal on 8 June 2017. This seeks to clarify the relationship between the proposed contract law rules and the personal data protection regime an issue which has been hotly debated. Furthermore, it strengthens the position of consumers with regard to conformity and remedies.
