Recital 4

Directive (EU) 2023/2673 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 November 2023 amending Directive 2011/83/EU as regards financial services contracts concluded at a distance and repealing Directive 2002/65/EC (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(4) Ensuring the same high level of consumer protection across the internal market is best achieved through full harmonisation. Full harmonisation is necessary in order to ensure that all consumers in the Union enjoy a high and equivalent level of protection of their interests and to create a well-functioning internal market. Member States should therefore not be allowed to maintain or introduce provisions in their national legislation, other than those laid down in this Directive, with respect to aspects covered by this Directive, unless otherwise provided for in this Directive. Where no such harmonised provisions exist, Member States should remain free to maintain or introduce provisions in their national legislation.
