2. (b)

   where the dimensions of the electronic tools are such that using several tables and columns would make the statement of fees difficult to read, use a single column or a single table if the order of information, headings and sub-headings are retained;

3. (c)

   use electronic tools, such as layering and pop-ups, provided that the title of the statement of fees, the common symbol, headings and sub-headings, are displayed prominently and the order of information is retained.

The use of the electronic tools referred to in point (c) of paragraph 1 shall not be intrusive that it could distract the consumer from the information in the statement of fees. Information provided through layering and pop-ups shall be limited to the information referred to in this Regulation.
