         Question referred
      
      Does the concept of consumer, as adopted by Directive 93/13/EEC, (1) preclude classification as a consumer of an entity (such as the entity comprising owners of apartments in a building (condominio) in Italian law), which does not come within the concept of ‘natural person’ or ‘legal person’, in cases where that entity concludes a contract for purposes which are outside its trade, business or profession and where it is in a position of weakness vis-à-vis the seller or supplier, as regards both its bargaining power and its level of knowledge?
      
         (1)  Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts (OJ 1993 L 95, p. 29).
