Alternative Dispute Resolution: German and Dutch parliaments send reasoned opinion

摘要

The legislative proposals on out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes have come up against a sizeable obstacle: in late January, the German and Dutch par liaments sent a reasoned opinion to the EU institutions denouncing the propos als' non-conformity with the subsidiarity principle. Germany's Bundesrat is also opposed to the legal basis chosen by the European Commission, namely Article 114 TFEU.
