Recital 10
(10) Extending the scope of Directive 2011/83/EU to cover financial services contracts concluded at a distance should ensure the necessary complementarity. However, due to the specific nature of consumer financial services, in particular by reason of their complexity, it is not appropriate for all the provisions of Directive 2011/83/EU to apply to consumer financial services contracts concluded at a distance. By adding a dedicated chapter with rules applicable only to consumer financial services contracts concluded at a distance to Directive 2011/83/EU, the necessary clarity and legal certainty can be ensured.
