COMMISSION NOTICE Guidance on the interpretation and application of Council Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair terms in consumer contracts · European Union

Where EU law requires ex officio control of the unfairness of contract terms, national courts have to ensure such control by interpreting and applying national law as much as possible in conformity with EU law (497). Where this is impossible and national rules of procedure do not comply with the principle of effectiveness and/or do not guarantee an effective remedy, national courts have to set such national rules aside in order to carry out the ex officio checks required by EU law (498).
