Press Release: More coherence for European contract law: Commission adopts Action plan

The European Commission adopted on 14 February 2003 an Action Plan setting out a road map for greater coherence of contract law in Europe. The Action Plan marks an attempt by the Commission to make the interaction between EU and national laws more coherent and overcome problems for the smooth functioning of the internal market. Measures being proposed include support for voluntary initiatives to develop standard Europe-wide contract terms, the improvement of existing and future EU law on contracts, and a research initiative to develop common contract law rules based on the best solutions found in the Member States' laws.
