(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These regulations transpose Directive 2009/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on injunctions for the protections of consumers' interests (Codified version) and revoke S.I. No. 449 of 2001 - European Communities (Protection of Consumers Collective Interests) Regulations, which transposed the original Directive 98/27/EC.

This Directive was amended several times with new Directives added to the Annex of the original, including Article 42 of Directive 2006/123/EC of 12 December 2006 on Services in the Internal Market. Since the adoption of the Services Directive, the Injunctions Directive has been codified into Directive 2009/22/EC, which repeals Directive 98/27/EC.
