43In that regard, first, far from prohibiting the use of certain means of communication, Article 8(1) and (4) of Directive 2011/83, in a very clearly defined area, merely manages the content of the marketing communication the aim of which is the conclusion of a distance contract with the consumer. Secondly, the obligation, in all circumstances, to provide the information referred to in the first sentence of Article 8(4) of that directive concerns only some of the information which must be communicated to the consumer before the distance contract is concluded, in accordance with Article 6(1) of that directive. As was recalled in paragraph 40 above, in the situation referred to in Article 8(4) of that directive, the other information must be provided by another source in plain and intelligible language.
