(49)The provisions concerning infringements of this Directive are without prejudice to a Member State’s right to intervene in cases of infringements of national law relating to, for example, consumer protection, to borrowers’ rights, or to criminal activities. In such cases, the competent authorities of the host Member State and of the Member State where the credit was granted are the ones competent to decide whether there has been an infringement of national law and thus their powers are not limited by this Directive.
