Slovenski zakonodajalec je vsebino Direktive 2019/770 o digitalni vsebini in digitalnih storitvah ter Direktive 2019/771 o potrošniški prodaji blaga prenesel v prenovljeni ZVPot-1, vsako v svoj obsežen sklop določb. Obe direktivi določata predvsem merila skladnosti s pogodbo in pravice potrošnika v primeru neskladnosti. Po osnovni strukturi se opirata na prej veljavno Direktivo 99/44 o potrošniški prodaji, a prinašata vrsto novosti. V prispevku je predstavljen sistem sankcij za izpolnitev s stvarno ali pravno napako (ZVPot-1: neskladnost) v direktivah. Ureditev pogodbe o dobavi digitalne vsebine in storitev prinaša uskladitev pravo varstva potrošnikov s tehnološkim razvojem. Avtor ugotavlja, da prenos direktiv v slovensko pravo ni bil najbolje pripravljen. Poleg napak pri prenosu graja tudi nekatere odločitve zakonodajalca v zvezi z opcijami, ki jih direktiva daje državam članicam, prezrte povezave z Obligacijskim zakonikom ter nejasnosti, nepreglednost in nizko raven slovenskega jezika v besedilu zakona.

The Slovenian legislator has transposed the content of Directives 2019/770 on digital content and digital services and 2019/771 on consumer sales of goods into the revised Consumer Protection Act, each within its set of extensive provisions. Both directives provide the criteria for conformity with the contract and the remedies of the consumer in case of non-conformity. In terms of basic structure, they build upon the previously applicable Directive 99/44 on consumer sales but introduce a variety of novelties. The paper presents the system of remedies for non-conformity with the contract (i.e. performance with material or legal defects). The regulation of contracts for the supply of digital content and services represents a refreshment of consume contract law in the light of technological development. The author notes that the transposition of directives into Slovenian law was not well-prepared. In addition to errors in the transposition, the author is critical with regard to some decisions of the legislator on the options provided by the directive, overlooked connections with the Obligations Code, as well as ambiguities, lack of transparency, and a low level of the Slovenian language in the legislative text.
