Judgment_paragraph 35 · G sp. z o.o. v W S.A (C-371/22)

35It is also important to point out, as the Advocate General does in footnote 17 of his Opinion, that Directive 2009/72 does not contain a definition of the concept of ‘consumer’, which appears in that directive, but that it is possible to infer from recital 1 of that directive, which states that the internal market in electricity aims to deliver real choice ‘for all consumers of the European Union, be they citizens or businesses’, and from recital 42 of that directive, that, in the absence of any indication to the contrary in a provision of that directive, that term is, in that directive, construed broadly and therefore includes, as a rule, any ‘final customer’, that is to say both ‘household customers’ and ‘non-household final customers’, including small undertakings.
