The Directive ensures the accessibility of quality ADR schemes and sets information obligations on businesses, and the Regulation lets the resolution of consumer disputes through a pan-European ODR platform.

Part III assesses new trends in consumer ADR (CDR) by recognizing best practices and looking at future trends in the field. In particular, it provides a vision of the future of CDR which is more than a simple dispute resolution tool, it poses a model on dispute system design for CDR, it explores the challenges of cross-border disputes, it offers a strategy to promote mediation, and it recognizes good practices of CDR and collective redress. The ebook concludes by calling for the mandatory participation of traders in CDR.
