      Defendant: Volksbank Filder eG
   Question referred
   
               1.
            
            
               May the first paragraph of Article 4 and Article 5(1) of Council Directive 85/577/EEC of 20 December 1985 (1) be interpreted as meaning that the national legislature is not precluded from placing a time-limit on the right of cancellation given by Article 5 of the Directive, despite the consumer having been given defective notice, so that it expires one month after both parties have performed their obligations under the agreement in full?
               In the event that the Court answers the first question referred in the negative:
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Should Directive 85/577/EEC be interpreted as meaning that the right of renunciation cannot be forfeited by the consumer — in particular after the completion of the contract — if he has not been given notice in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 4 of the Directive?
