As A Way Of Protecting Consumers From Unsolicited Communication - "Law On Electronic Commerce"

The main purpose of the Law on Electronic Commerce ("Law") effective as of May 1, 2015 is to define the liabilities of the service providers or intermediaries in terms of electronic commerce and for communicating with their customers.

In this context a major issue from the consumer's point of view is the wish to regulate the receipt of "junk mails/messages". Therefore the new legislation has been highly appreciated by the consumers, as unsolicited commercial communication from service/intermediary service providers had grown to be a major disturbance for them in the last decade.

The Law is mainly based on Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 8, 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market ("Directive 2000/31/EC"). In this context the unsolicited commercial communication could be rejected by consumers by way of opt out registering.
