Imperative nature of this Directive
Article 41
Member States shall ensure that: (a) consumers may not waive the rights conferred on them by national law transposing this Directive; (b) the measures they adopt in transposing this Directive cannot be circumvented in a way which could lead to consumers losing the protection granted by this Directive as a result of the way in which agreements are formulated, in particular by integrating credit agreements falling within the scope of this Directive into credit agreements the character or purpose of which would make it possible to avoid the application of those measures.
