d1e10895-1-1__para__3
In this respect, Article 1(3) of the e-Commerce Directive makes it clear that the e-Commerce Directive ‘complements Community law applicable to information society services without prejudice to the level of protection for, in particular, public health and consumer interests, as established by Community acts and national legislation implementing them in so far as this does not restrict the freedom to provide information society services’. This means that the e-Commerce Directive and relevant EU consumer acquis apply in principle in a complementary manner (341).
