International Conference on The Common European Law about Sales

Friday, 26 October 2012 16:30

On October, 19th and 20th, 2012 at the UNWE was carried out an International Conference on the Common European Law about Sales?. The purpose of the Forum was the discussion of a project for regulations of the European Parliament and the European Union Council for Common European Rights about Sales. In the project is suggested a dispositive (optional) legal framework about sales to be allowed the application of uniform European general rules at a will of the parties to the transaction. Benefits form such a common law are associated primarily with the unification of the economic and judicial practice and convergence of the EU member-states law in such a field of the law where in spite of the national specifics it is possible to be achieved a uniform regime.
