COMMISSION NOTICE – Guidance on the interpretation and application of Article 6a of Directive 98/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on consumer protection in the indication of the prices of products offered to consumers · European Union

The CRD does not define the ‘goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly’. The compliance with the objective criteria of being ‘liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly’ is to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Examples of goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly are fresh food and drinks with short expiry time limits. This possibility for Member States to derogate from the general rule on price reductions cannot be applied to goods that are not perishable because of their physical composition and properties but only ‘expire’ in the commercial sense, such as seasonal clothing (24).
