Recital 3

(3) Those reports and consultations revealed that Directive 2008/48/EC has been partially effective in ensuring high standards of consumer protection and fostering the development of a single market for credit, and that such objectives are still relevant. The reasons why that Directive has been only partially effective stem both from the Directive itself, as for instance imprecise wording of particular articles, and from external factors, such as the developments linked to digitalisation, the practical application and enforcement in Member States as well as from the fact that certain aspects of the consumer credit market are not covered by that Directive.
