Auto dealerships agree to pay $135,000 to settle deceptive advertising claims
2015-06-17 17:20:28| Auto Dealers - Topix.net
Bergen Auto Enterprises, which does business as Wayne Mazda and Wayne Auto Mall, agreed to pay $135,000 to settle claims that the dealerships engaged in unconscionable commercial practices and deceptive advertising practices in their advertisement and sale of new and used motor vehicles, according to the Office of the Attorney General and Division of Consumer Affairs. The AG and the consumer affairs division filed suit in August 2014, alleging in its five-count complaint that Bergen Auto Enterprises had violated the Consumer Fraud Act and Motor Vehicle Advertising Regulations, among other things, by engaging in "bait and switch" tactics that featured motor vehicles in advertisements that were not available for purchase or lease.

EU ministers agree compromise on data protection regulation
2015-06-15 16:39:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) EU ministers have reached an agreement on reforming data protection regulations, opening the way for negotiations with the European Parliament on the final legislation. Designed to replace the existing data protection directive from 1995, the new law aims to give consumers greater control over how their personal data is used, especially online. The proposal also extends EU regulations to businesses based outside the region and handling data on EU residents. The law upholds the 'safe harbour' system for transferring data on EU subjects to non-EU countries. These countries must show they offer sufficient personal data protection in order to receive the 'safe harbour' status, to be determined by the European Commission in cooperation with member states and Parliament. The Parliament had called for stricter protections for international transfers, with approval by national regulators and informing the subject required in certain cases. EU ministers scaled back the original proposal to allow international companies to choose a 'one-stop shop' privacy regulator in the EU country of their choice. Instead, the one-stop mechanism will apply only in supervisory decisions on important transnational cases involving several national regulators. The EU ministers also endorsed the EC's proposal for higher fines for violators, but not as high as those approved by Parliament. The council's text notably allows a considerable amount of flexibility for member states in implementing several parts of the regulations, particularly in areas involving the handling of personal data for law enforcement purposes. The first so-called trilogue meeting, between the European Commission, Council and Parliament, on a final text is scheduled for 24 June.

EU Council unable to agree on roaming proposal
2015-06-15 09:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The EU council at its meeting 11 June failed to reach agreement on what remains of the Connected Continent legislation, covering roaming and net neutrality. The differences with the European Parliament appeared again too great. The member states aim to take a step in roaming and proposed a technical plan adjusting the retail price cap to a lower level. A small amount of volume from domestic price plans would also be allowed for customers to 'roam like home' when elsewhere in the EU. Opinions on net neutrality are still widely diverging, with discussions in recent months unable to reach a compromise. The Dutch government said there is no support for a ban on price differentiation for services. The council will meet again 25 June, to discuss a broader range of political and economic issues. The Commission will also give a presentation on its plans for the Digital Single Market. As ministers will be present at the next meeting, this creates a new deadline for the EU. The Commission hopes to reach an agreement on the two subjects before the summer holidays.
