What this law does
Article 7 of the Electronic Commerce Act requires a provider of information society services to make sure that every commercial communication can be clearly identified as commercial when the user receives it, that the person on whose behalf it is made can be clearly identified, that every promotional offer such as a discount or gift is clearly identified as such, and that the conditions for taking up the offer are easy to reach and stated clearly and unambiguously.
Article 8, as replaced in 2008, allows electronic mail to be used for sending an unsolicited electronic communication (an unsolicited commercial communication) only with the prior consent of the person it is meant for, in line with the law on electronic communications. Article 22, paragraph 1 gives inspection supervision to the State Inspectorate and the inspectors of the competent ministry.
