Translation of "Publicité agressive " (French → English) :

I've heard the attack ads and the talk about the $75 iPod tax.

Senator Mitchell: If the leader wants to get into how many taxpayer donor dollars this Conservative Party has spent on attack ads that demean the entire political process, we will talk about that.

Hon. Larry Bagnell: We heard from the Retail Council of Canada that the proposed AMPs would show aggressive advertising.

As regards financial services, lack of information in advertising on the annual rate and the cost of credit, offers of misleading bargains for credit contracts with a low interest rate, and lack of proper information on the legal obligations related to the signing of contracts were amongst the practices reported.[113] In relation to immovable property, examples of practices encountered were: misdescription of property characteristics, lack of transparency in relation to the cost of the property and respective taxes, bait advertising, aggressive practices by real estate agents such as intimidating consumers into signing an exclusive contr ...[+++]act with an agent when attempting to sell their properties.

The Directive’s provisions come into play to prohibit commercial practices which are likely to deceive the average consumer (such as ‘bait’ advertising and marketing of air fares), and practices which constitute aggressive conduct (such as onerous and disproportionate non-contractual barriers imposed on consumers who wish to exercise a contractual right to terminate a contract).

Concerning fair commercial practices, the Commission is in the process of consulting interested parties on the detail of a possible framework directive which would harmonise national rules on the fairness of commercial practices (advertising, aggressive marketing, after-sale customer assistance, etc.) between businesses and consumers [9].
