DE: Concerns Over Directive

Publication of the Directive on Comparative Advertising on 23 October has evoked from the German minister of justice the view that the law on unfair competition now needs amendment. Precisely how the new comparative advertising regulations will be translated into national law is still unclear. The ZAW (German advertising association) believes that lack of clarity and a degree of ambiguity in the Directive will raise legal problems concerning comparative advertising in Germany.
