Highlights - Study: European Digital Guarantee - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

The study analyses the inconveniences of paper receipts and guarantees that are lost or fade away. The collected evidence indicates that missing paper documents may result in problems for consumers in the enforcement of their rights. The study assesses e-receipt solutions already existing on the market and evaluates whether the regulation of such schemes could contribute to the Single Market.

Some guidelines are given concerning a possible regulation of e-receipt schemes, including the impact of other fields of the EU law.
