         Operative part of the order
      
      Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts must be interpreted as precluding a rule of national law by which a consumer who concluded a loan agreement with a credit institution and against whom that supplier initiated enforcement proceedings is time-barred, beyond a period of 15 days from service of the first documents in those proceedings, from relying on the existence unfair terms to defend those proceedings, even if under national law the consumer may bring an action for a finding of unfair terms which is not subject to any time limit, but the outcome of which has no bearing on the outcome of the enforcement proceedings, which may be binding on the consumer before the conclusion of the action for a finding of unfair terms.
