(32)Consumers should be protected against unfair or misleading practices, in particular with respect to the information provided by the creditor or credit intermediary, in line with Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 8 . That Directive continues to apply to credit agreements and works as a ‘safety net’ ensuring that a high common level of consumer protection against unfair commercial practices can be maintained in all sectors, including by complementing other Union law.
