Recital 73

(73) Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (32) works as a ‘safety net’ that ensures a high level of consumer protection in all sectors, complementing more detailed requirements in sector-specific or product-specific Union law, except in the case of conflict between that Directive and other Union rules related to specific aspects of unfair commercial practices, in which case the latter should prevail in relation to those specific aspects. Directive (EU) 2024/825 of the European Parliament and of the Council (33) provides that displaying a voluntary sustainability label which does not meet certain requirements constitutes an unfair commercial practice.
