72That choice made by the European Union legislature in the second subparagraph of Article 3(3) of the Directive, as pointed out by the Belgian and Polish Governments and the Commission, derives from the fact that the Directive favours, in the interest of both parties to the contract, the performance thereof by means of the two remedies provided for in the first place, rather than cancellation of the contract or reduction in the selling price. The choice is explained, in addition, by the fact that generally those two last alternative remedies do not ensure the same level of protection for consumers as the bringing into conformity of the goods.
