  "bluf": "The French Code de la consommation is the consolidated codification of French consumer protection law, applying the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive 2005/29/CE, Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/UE and successor instruments. The Code is organised in eight Livres. Livre Ier covers consumer information and commercial practices. Arts. L111-1 to L111-7 set the general pre-contractual information obligation (trader identity, essential characteristics, total price including taxes, payment and delivery terms, withdrawal rights, after-sales services, applicable guarantees). Art. L121-1 defines pratiques commerciales deloyales as practices contrary to professional diligence that materially distort the average consumer's behaviour. Arts. L121-2 to L121-5 prohibit pratiques commerciales trompeuses (misleading actions and omissions). Arts. L121-6 to L121-7 prohibit pratiques commerciales agressives (harassment, coercion, undue influence). Arts. L122-1 to L122-22 contain the blacklist of practices always deemed misleading or aggressive and sector-specific rules. Arts. L221-1 to L221-29 govern contrats conclus a distance et hors etablissement, with Arts. L221-18 to L221-28 establishing the 14-day droit de retractation. Arts. L511-1 to L532-1 establish DGCCRF enforcement powers including injonctions, transactions and amendes administratives. Criminal sanctions appear at Arts. L132-1 to L132-26.",
