Article 18 Use of electronic means

1.

(a) by way of derogation from point (d) of Article 1(3), increase the font sizes, provided that the proportion of sizes as set out in Article 1(3) is retained;

(b) where the dimensions of the electronic tools are such that using several tables and columns would make the statement of fees difficult to read, use a single column or a single table if the order of information, headings and sub-headings are retained;

(c) use electronic tools, such as layering and pop-ups, provided that the title of the statement of fees, the common symbol, headings and sub-headings, are displayed prominently and the order of information is retained.

2. The use of the electronic tools referred to in point (c) of paragraph 1 shall not be intrusive that it could distract the consumer from the information in the statement of fees. Information provided through layering and pop-ups shall be limited to the information referred to in this Regulation.
