A new PTD should not aim for full harmonization. Member States providing higher protection standards should not be forced to decrease their level of consumer protection. However, it may be that a targeted full harmonization approach regarding the information obligations only is appropriate, due to pre-contractual information directed (cf Art 15 Para Nr 1 Brussels I-Regulation 2001/44/EC, Art 6 Nr 1 Rome I-Regulation 593/2008/EC) to consumers in a significant number of Member States at once. It is very difficult for organizers and retailers in this regard to meet the several particular obligations of each states domestic law. On the other hand, this distinction in the degree of harmonization in relation to different provisions might be questionable.
