Information Rights and Obligations: A Challenge for Party Autonomy and Transactional Fairness »

In 11 papers from a conference held in Munster, Germany in November 2003, law scholars from Europe and Canada consider obligations to provide information to the public as an alternative to bans or controls on substances and other consumer products and services. One of the advantages said for the approach is that it interferes less with national regulation during the process of European harmonization. Among the topics are recent developments in Poland under special consideration of the Package Travel Directive, from truth in lending to responsible lending, EC directives for self-employed commercial agents and on time-sharing, and duties to inform versus party autonomy.
