15As a preliminary point, it should be recalled that, under Article 6(2) of the Rome I Regulation, the parties to a consumer contract, that is to say a contract entered into by a consumer with a professional, may choose the law applicable to the contract, in so far as that choice does not have the result of depriving the consumer of the protection afforded to him or her by the provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement by virtue of the law which, in the absence of choice, would have been applicable on the basis of Article 6(1) of that regulation.
