How to read it

Blacklist

A yes on a listed practice is a potential prohibited practice, not a court finding.

Future claims

A future environmental performance statement without a public plan stays on review because the directive uses a case-by-case test there.

Storage

Answers are yes, no, or unknown. The wording of a campaign is not kept.

Limits

Does a clear set of no answers approve the wording?

No. It only means these answers did not select a listed practice.

What about an offset presented as climate neutral?

That path is a potential prohibited practice under the amended blacklist.

Are sector rules replaced?

No. The directive adds a horizontal consumer layer and does not displace more specific product law.

Where is the list?

Annex I to the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, as amended by Directive (EU) 2024/825.
