The fact that the Directive does not apply to certain contracts involving PRS by virtue of Article 3(3)(m) does not mean that they are not subject to consumer protection rules. The EU regulatory framework for electronic communications, in particular the European Electronic Communications Code (Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council (44)), enables Member States and the relevant National Regulatory Authorities to adopt specific measures to protect consumers in relation to PRS. Consequently, a number of Member States have implemented additional safeguards in this area, including, for example, consumption limits, an obligation to announce the price at the start of the call, etc.
