Seldia welcomes the Commission’s initiative to revise the 2009 Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (hereinafter – UCPD) Guidance Document and praises the increased involvement of stakeholders in the process. Even though the UCPD has worked satisfactorily and has proven to be an effective tool for the authorities to deal with companies that engage in unfair commercial practices, we believe a stricter and more harmonized enforcement of the Directive as well as cooperation between Member States is needed. Therefore, the direct selling industry believes that the planned additions to the Guidance document will help to address certain shortcomings with respect to the implementation of the Directive.
