As I have previously indicated, it is my intention to implement the provisions of Articles 19 and 22 of the Consumer Rights Directive on payment charges and additional charges by the end of this year.

My Department is awaiting clarification from the European Commission on a number of issues relating to Article 19. On receipt of this clarification, the Department will issue a consultation paper on Articles 19 and 22. The responses to this consultation will be taken into account in drafting the Regulations to give effect to the two Articles.
