Recital 6
(6) This Directive should cover a variety of areas such as data protection, financial services, travel and tourism, energy, telecommunications and environmentll consumer law and related areas in line in particular with Articles 11 and 169 TFEU and Article 47 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. It should also be recognised that, in light of recent scandals involving the automobile industry, the impact upon consumers can often have secondary elements alongside the initial financial aspects, such as damage to health caused by emissions. It should cover infringements of provisions of Union law which protect the interests of consumers, regardless of whether they are referred to as consumers or as travellers, users, customers, retail investors, retail clients or other in the relevant Union law. To ensure adequate response to infringement to Union law, the form and scale of which is quickly evolving, it should be considered, each time where a new Union act relevant for the protection of the collective interests of consumers is adopted, whether to amend the Annex to the present Directive in order to place it under its scope.
