Abstract:

The article analyses three basic models that can be applied to determine the relationship between the proposed Common European Sales Law (CESL) and the rules of private international law: the ‘28th regime-model’, the ‘2nd regimemodel’, and the ‘1st regime-model’. It argues that both the ‘28th regime-model’ and the model favoured by the European Commission, the ‘2nd regime-model’, endanger the overall objective of the CESL because Article 6 Rome IRegulation will continue to apply. The ‘1st regime-model’, in contrast, avoids application of Article 6 Rome I-Regulation because it classifies the CESL as a uniform law that takes precedence over the rules of private international law. The article, therefore, concludes that the European Commission should rethink its position and apply the ‘1st regime-model’ instead of the ‘2nd regime-model’.
