Recital 118

(118) Consumers should be entitled to enforce their rights in relation to the obligations imposed on manufacturers and, where applicable, importers, authorised representatives and fulfilment service providers under this Regulation through representative actions in accordance with Directive (EU) 2020/1828 of the European Parliament and of the Council (57). For that purpose, this Regulation should provide that Directive (EU) 2020/1828 is applicable to representative actions concerning infringements of this Regulation by manufacturers and, where applicable, by importers, authorised representatives and fulfilment service providers that qualify as traders under Article 3, point (2), of that Directive which harm or could harm the collective interests of consumers. Annex I to that Directive should therefore be amended accordingly. It is for the Member States to ensure that that amendment is reflected in their transposition measures adopted in accordance with that Directive, although the adoption of national transposition measures in that regard is not a condition for the applicability of that Directive to those representative actions. The applicability of that Directive to the representative actions brought against infringements by manufacturers and, where applicable, by importers, authorised representatives and fulfilment service providers of provisions of this Regulation which harm or could harm the collective interests of consumers should start from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
