La evolución del concepto de consumidor en el ordenamiento interno y comunitario

Abstract

The delimitation of the concept of consumer has historically raised difficulties, not only because it is a term that presents various meanings, but also because it is often difficult to determine when a subject acts outside of an activity, trade or profession and when does it for purposes exclusively private. Both at the level of the European Union and in the Spanish context, the concept of consumer has become more flexible, and we will study that evolution in this lines. Besides, we will focus on the differences that exist within the framework of the European Union and in the context of Spanish Law as far as this concept is concerned.
