Tóm tắt

In April 1992, the Danish Parliament published an information paper regarding “Denmark and the European Union” which was distributed to all homes. The paper said, among other things, that “a number of new areas are explicitly incorporated in the EC cooperation.” Consumer protection was mentioned as an example. It is, however, questionable whether the Maastricht Treaty in this area involves anything more than a formal, statutory confirmation that the EC may work for the protection of consumers precisely as before. The Edinburgh declaration on Denmark and the European Union does not seem to contain an answer.
