The Commission’s review of the 2008 Directive found that it had not kept pace with emerging consumer credit products, consumer behavior, and technological developments. This, coupled with imprecise wording of certain provisions, had led to Member States adopting diverging approaches, resulting in a highly fragmented regulatory framework across the EU in a number of aspects of consumer credit. It was clear that a new Directive would be required to tackle these issues.
