The European Union and Uniform Private Law Conventions
20.04.2010
The increasing harmonization of private law in the European Union calls for an examination of the relationship between EU private law and the classical uniform private law conventions. Jan Asmus Bischoff compares the different development of uniform private law with that of EU private law in order to show the possible conflicts and synergies. Bearing this in mind, he analyzes the legal effects of the uniform private law conventions of the Union itself and of the Member States on the EU legislator and judiciary. The author shows that under the current state of the law the treatment of the Community by uniform law conventions on the one hand and the distribution of competences between the Community and the Member States on the other tend to lead to conflicts that will endanger legal certainty in international legal relations.Die Europäische Gemeinschaft und die Konventionen des einheitlichen Privatrechts
