41So far as concerns Articles 6 and 7 and Articles 8 and 9 of the directive, the Court has already held that, pursuant to those provisions, misleading or aggressive practices are prohibited where, having regard to their nature and the factual context, they cause or are likely to cause the average consumer to take a ‘transactional’ decision that he would not have taken otherwise (VTB-VAB and Galatea, paragraph 55). The Court did not therefore make the prohibition of such practices dependent on any criterion other than those set out in those articles.
