Questions referred







1.


Must Articles 6(1) and 7(1) of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts (2) be interpreted as precluding rules of national law which provide that the bankruptcy court is bound by the list of claims approved by the judge-commissioner in bankruptcy proceedings, thereby preventing the bankruptcy court which gives the final ruling in the proceedings from assessing whether contractual terms are unfair?










2.


Must Articles 6(1) and 7(1) of [Directive 93/13/EEC] be interpreted as precluding rules of national law which prohibit the ordering of interim measures in bankruptcy proceedings and which are therefore liable to deter consumers from availing themselves of the protection afforded them by [that directive]?
