The UCTD applies to contracts concluded between sellers or suppliers and consumers in all sectors of economic activity (78). Thus, also other provisions of EU law, including other consumer protection rules, may apply to a given contract, depending on the type of contract in question. Other relevant rules, which may apply in parallel, could be horizontal rules on pre-contractual information and on the right of withdrawal in Directive 2011/83/EU (79) on consumer rights, or on unfair commercial practices in Directive 2005/29/EC (80). Similarly, rules relating to particular types of contracts may apply in addition to the UCTD, for instance, Directive 2008/48/EC (81) on credit agreements for consumers, Directive 2008/122/EC (82) on the protection of consumers in respect of certain aspects of timeshare, long-term holiday product, resale and exchange contracts, Directive 2014/17/EU (83) on credit agreements for consumers relating to residential immovable property, Directive (EU) 2015/2302 (84) on package travel and linked travel arrangements, Directive (EU) 2018/1972 (85) establishing the European Electronic Communications Code, Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 (86) on air services, Directive 2009/72/EC (87) concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 2003/54/EC, or Directive 2009/73/EC (88) concerning common rules for the internal market in natural gas and repealing Directive 2003/55/EC (89). In addition, rules in the area of judicial cooperation in civil matters, for instance on the applicable law (90) and jurisdiction (91) and procedural rules, such as on small claims (92) or on the European Payment Order (93) may apply in cases involving unfair contract terms.
