In 2024, the European Parliament adopted two important measures in the field of consumer law: Directive 2024/825/EU, on ‘greenwashing’, and Directive 2024/1799/EU, on the ‘Right to Repair’. The two directives introduce new rules and amend some of the previous ones on, respectively, unfair commercial practices (dir. 2005/29/EC) and remedies for breach of contract for the sale of consumer goods (dir. 2019/771/EU): it seems that, following their adoption, the legal and conceptual framework supporting European consumer law is set to change radically. The aim of the work is to assess the compatibility of the directives with the consumer system, in particular with respect to legal guarantees in the sale of consumer goods. To do so, the paper will set out the developing lines of the legal framework on legal guarantees in the sale, from the civil code to the consumer code. Then, the impact of the principle of sustainability, emerging from European legislation, will be examined with regards to general private law and to the special consumer discipline. In conclusion, the rules and innovations brought about by the two new directives will be analysed in detail, trying to highlight the most problematic aspects.
Nel 2024 il Parlamento Europeo ha adottato due importanti provvedimenti in tema di diritto dei consumatori: la direttiva 2024/825/UE, sul c.d. greenwashing, e la direttiva 2024/1799/UE, sul c.d. Right to Repair. Le due direttive introducono nuove norme e modificano alcune di quelle precedenti in materia, rispettivamente, di pratiche commerciali scorrette (dir. 2005/29/CE) e di rimedi all’inadempimento nei contratti di vendita di beni di consumo (dir. 2019/771/UE): sembra che, a seguito della loro adozione, il quadro normativo e concettuale a sostegno del diritto europeo dei consumatori sia destinato a cambiare radicalmente. L’obiettivo del lavoro è misurare la compatibilità delle direttive col sistema consumeristico, in particolare rispetto alle garanzie legali nella vendita di beni di consumo. Per fare ciò, verranno esposte le linee evolutive dell’impianto normativo sulle garanzie legali nella vendita, dal codice civile al codice del consumo. Sarà poi vagliato l’impatto del principio di sostenibilità, emergente dalla normativa europea, nel diritto privato generale e nella disciplina speciale consumeristica. In conclusione, saranno puntualmente analizzate le norme e le innovazioni recate dalle due nuove direttive, cercando di sottolinearne gli aspetti più problematici.

Abstract
In 2024, the European Parliament adopted two important measures in the field of consumer law: Directive 2024/825/EU, on ‘greenwashing’, and Directive 2024/1799/EU, on the ‘Right to Repair’. The two directives introduce new rules and amend some of the previous ones on, respectively, unfair commercial practices (dir. 2005/29/EC) and remedies for breach of contract for the sale of consumer goods (dir. 2019/771/EU): it seems that, following their adoption, the legal and conceptual framework supporting European consumer law is set to change radically. The aim of the work is to assess the compatibility of the directives with the consumer system, in particular with respect to legal guarantees in the sale of consumer goods. To do so, the paper will set out the developing lines of the legal framework on legal guarantees in the sale, from the civil code to the consumer code. Then, the impact of the principle of sustainability, emerging from European legislation, will be examined with regards to general private law and to the special consumer discipline. In conclusion, the rules and innovations brought about by the two new directives will be analysed in detail, trying to highlight the most problematic aspects.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
