Abstract
The paper informs about the state of Spanish law before and after Spain’s entry into the European Community. Spanish law already included consumer protection in its constitution as well as an ambitious, yet defective, Act on Consumer Protection (LGDCU). After entry into the EEC, Spain had to adapt Community directives on consumer protection to the Spanish legal order. However, as the author demonstrates in detail, this process has been slow, complicated, and in many areas incomplete or even against Community obligations. The balance sheet of Spanish consumer policy after the completion of the Internal Market may be said to be negative. The principle of subsidiarity may allow for a renewal of consumer policy by strengthening national initiatives.
