COMMISSION NOTICE Guidance on the interpretation and application of Council Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair terms in consumer contracts · European Union
Ex officio control aims to achieve the result sought by Article 6(1) in individual cases and contributes to the objective of Article 7 as it may act as a deterrent to the use of unfair contract terms at large (381). The obligation of ex officio control applies a fortiori where a consumer, in substance, challenges the validity or fairness of the contract without, however, referring specifically to the legal provisions on unfair contract terms (382).
