Recital 39
(39) Contracts falling under the scope of this Directive can be of different financial natures and thus can vary considerably. Therefore, Member States could adapt the way in which such explanations are given to the circumstances in which the financial service is offered and to the consumer’s need for assistance, taking into account the consumer’s knowledge and experience of the financial service and its nature. In order to ensure that the consumer obtains adequate explanations, Member States should encourage traders to provide such explanations to the consumer in an easy and straightforward manner, in the interest of the consumer.
