Summary:

In the decisive political stage of the preparations for an optional European contract law, this volume voices criticism and makes suggestions for improvements to the "Feasibility Study" that shall be followed by a legislative initiative of the European Commission. These proceedings of the conference "Towards a European Contract Law" held in June 2011 include the responses from renowned European academics, legal practitioners and political representatives to the Commissions' preparatory work on an optional European contract law as well as the programmatic speech of Commissions' Vice-president Viviane Reding. Furthermore, the full text of the Feasibility Study for a Future Instrument in European Contract Law is available in the annex to this volume.
