Abstract	At European Union level, agreements between payment services providers and merchants regarding whether and/or the extent to which the merchant is allowed to request surcharges for the use of certain payment methods from its customers have been much debated, especially since the enactment of the Payment Services Directive (PSD). The current regulatory framework in the European Union has led to considerable uncertainty about the extent to which agreements restricting surcharging are lawful. The planned recasting of the Payment Services Directive provides justification for looking at the European Union system in more detail.Surcharging is a multi-dimensional topic, raising questions under payment services, consumer protection and antitrust rules. As this contribution will show, there is a patchwork of rules which are not necessarily compatible with one another, although they should ultimately aim at achieving the same goal, namely increased consumer welfare. We will therefore suggest how this goal can be achieved with simple and consistent rules on surcharging.
