Abstract

Government Ordinance no. 107/1999 is a normative act with relevance in the field of consumer

protection. Thus, according to Article 30, the ordinance is supplemented by GO no. 21/1992 on

consumer protection. In this context, it should be noted that the notion of consumer as defined by GO no.

107/1999 is not identical to that used in consumer protection regulations. Thus, contracts for the sale of

package travels may be contracts concluded with consumers from the perspective of GO no. 107/1999,

but not from the point of view of consumer protection regulations. This study will identify the features of

the consumer concept in GO no. 107/1999 and in GO no. 21/1992, as a normative act comprising the

common law in the field of consumer protection. By identifying the differences between concepts, this study

will exemplify their legal relevance in terms of consumer protection against the introduction of unfair

contract terms.
