What Belgium Code de droit economique - Livre VI (Pratiques du marche et protection du consommateur) requires
The Belgian Code de droit economique consolidates economic regulation in 19 Livres. Livre VI (Pratiques du marche et protection du consommateur) governs market practices and consumer protection, replacing the Loi du 6 avril 2010 sur les pratiques du marche et la protection du consommateur. Livre VI was inserted by the Loi du 21 decembre 2013 and entered into force on 31 May 2014. The Livre transposes EU Directive 2005/29/CE Unfair Commercial Practices (UCPD) and EU Directive 2011/83/UE Consumer Rights into Belgian law. Key articles: Art. VI.1 sets general principles. Art. VI.2 imposes the general pre-contractual information obligation. Art. VI.6 mandates the indication of prices toutes taxes comprises (all-taxes-included). Arts. VI.45 to VI.62 govern distance and off-premises contracts with a 14-day droit de retractation under Art. VI.47 (consumer may withdraw without justification or cost except return shipping). Arts. VI.93 to VI.96 prohibit unfair commercial practices contrary to professional diligence. Arts. VI.97 to VI.100 prohibit misleading actions and omissions including the Art. VI.100 blacklist of 31 commercial practices always considered unfair. Arts. VI.101 to VI.103 prohibit aggressive practices using harassment, coercion or undue influence. Arts. VI.104 to VI.109 regulate publicite comparative (comparative advertising) under conditions of objective and verifiable comparison. Arts. VI.116 to VI.117 prohibit ventes a perte (below-cost sales) outside the soldes period. Enforcement is by the Service Public Federal Economie (SPF Economie) via the Inspection economique under Arts. XV.1 et seq. with administrative fines and possible criminal sanctions.
