Reflections on the Proposal for a Regulation on a Common European Sales Law

The paper would like to analyze some of the unresolved issues emerging from the
structure and content of the Proposed Regulation for a Common European Sales Law
(CESL). In particular, attention will be paid to the crucial point of the interface of the
CESL with national laws and with other existing conflict of laws rules. Finally, bearing
in mind the typical situation in which the CESL would apply, the paper tries to assume
the next step in Commission’s agenda in the field of European Contract Law.
