35With regard to actions for an injunction brought in the public interest, such as that here at issue in the main proceedings, it should be noted that, while the Directive does not seek to harmonise the penalties applicable in the event of a term being found to be unfair in the context of those actions, Article 7(1) of the Directive nevertheless requires the Member States to ensure that adequate and effective means exist to prevent the continued use of unfair terms in contracts concluded with consumers.
