Despite certain variations of the term ‘seller or supplier’ in different language versions (29) of Article 2(c) UCTD, this notion has to be interpreted uniformly (30) and in light of the objectives of the Directive (31). This means that more restrictive terminology used in certain language versions of the UCTD and in the national transposition cannot restrict the types of contracts covered by the UCTD and, thereby, its scope of protection (32). In fact, ‘seller or supplier’ pursuant to Article 2(c) will have to be interpreted in the same way as the term ‘trader’ in other consumer protection directives, and the case law in relation to the terms ‘trader’ and ‘consumer’ in other directives is, in principle, also relevant for the UCTD (33).
