Judgment_paragraph 37 · Banca B. SA v A.A.A (C-269/19)

37Although the wording of Article 6(1) of Directive 93/13 provides no indication in that regard, it must be noted that the purpose of Directive 93/13 is to provide consumers with a high level of protection. The EU legislature expressly indicated, in particular, in Article 7 of Directive 93/13, read in the light of the 24th recital thereof, that authorities, including judicial authorities, should have at their disposal adequate and effective means of preventing the continued application of unfair terms in consumer contracts.
