Conformitatea conţinutului digital. Noi instrumente legislative europene 2.0

Rezumat

This study aims to highlight the main novelties of content that Directive (EU) 2019/770 and Directive (EU) 2019/771 bring to European private law. Although Directive (EU) 2019/771 covers the whole range of consumer goods, we will focus only on the sale of digital goods, which is, after all, the point of connection with Directive (EU) 2019/770 on digital content and services. This paper continues a previous study published in the Romanian Journal of Private Law no. 1/2021. The first part is devoted to the guarantee of conformity, examined within the meaning of the two Directives. The second part is an overview of remedies. The study aims to take a comparative approach to the issue of conformity in European contract law, focusing on the substantive changes brought about by the new instruments, on the one hand driven by the protectionist vision of consumer law and, on the other hand, dictated by the trend of increasing transactions in the virtual environment.
