The shop is not captured in this measure because it is the credit provider that is captured. Does the Minister of State know what I mean? Consider the example of buying a jacket in Topshop for €100 through a BPL arrangement where that arrangement is advertised by Topshop although Klarna provides the credit. Klarna will not have advertised its services. Since it has not invited customers to avail of credit through advertising, is it still captured under the definition?
