    This article considers in detail the methods through which the EU Directives attempt to protect the consumer at each of the contractual stages, namely information disclosure, regulating unfair commercial practices, and regulating advertising at the pre-contractual stage, regulating the substance of the contract and sale and guarantees at the contractual stage and the use of cooling-off periods and legal redress and representation at the post-contractual stage.
