    This brochure, issued by the Luxembourg Ministry of Commerce, provides a general overview of the structure and the provisions of the UCP Directive and its national implementation by the Luxembourg Act of 29 April 2009 on commercial practices. First, the brochure gives some further explanation on the UCPD and the purposes for which it was enacted (e.g. functioning of the internal market). The notion of a "commercial practice" is briefly described. Next, the document deals with the structure of the Luxembourg Act of 29 April 2009 on commercial practices and gives some more information on the general prohibition on unfair commercial practices and its subdivision in misleading and aggressive practices. The discussion on these provisions is further illustrated with some real-life examples. Finally, an overview of the black-listed practices and further information on contact points in case of infringements is given.
