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

Unlike the regulatory choice regarding goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly, for which Member States can provide ‘different rules’, including the exemption of such goods from the scope of Article 6a, this regulatory choice only refers to ‘a shorter period of time’. Accordingly, it cannot not be interpreted as including also the possibility of complete exemption of these goods from the requirement to observe a reference period for establishing the ‘prior’ price.
