With the ubiquitous "Black Friday"—and now
"Black Week"—having taken hold in the European
Union and the United Kingdom, consumers will currently be inundated
with offers and shopping around for the best deal. Retailers should
ensure they are ready to engage in transparent discounting that is
compliant with the applicable EU and UK rules, or otherwise risk
regulator action which is starting to bite more frequently.

On 1 August, the UK government announced that it would extend use of the
EU's Conformité Européene (CE) mark for certain
products placed on the market in Great Britain
indefinitely.
This is an abrupt change from the intended plan of phasing out
use of the EU's CE mark and replacing it with a new British
version known as the UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) mark by the end
of 2024.
What are the CE and the UKCA marks?

In the UK, we have seen an increase in regulator activism, and particularly, in relation to advertising misleading consumers. This can be seen in the recent spate of the UK Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”) investigations and a whole host of the UK Advertising Standards Authority (“ASA”) decisions. Companies will need to take extra care as the CMA may get some (very large) new teeth from the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Bill (“Bill”).
