ASFAC reinforced its criticism of the delay in transposing the consumer credit directive, at a meeting with a Chinese automotive sector association. The Chinese association had already held similar meetings in Spain, France and Italy, so it expressed surprise at the situation in Portugal.
During the meeting, the Chinese association expressed its astonishment at the Portuguese legislative delay, considering it an exception compared to what happens in other European countries. The foreign entity stated that Portuguese legislation is significantly behind other European countries.
ASFAC has been defending the urgency of implementing the consumer credit directive, warning about the negative consequences this delay may have for the sector and for consumers. The Portuguese association highlighted the importance of aligning Portugal with the other Member States of the European Union.
