BackIn its opinion of February 2011 on the Green Paper on “Policy options for progress towards a European Contract Law for Consumers and Businesses” the Austrian Federal Chamber of Labour (AK) already objected to a binding form of the European contract law instrument. The AK would like to reaffirm this approach with regard to the Regulation on a Common European Sales Law, which has now been presented by the Commission.
The EU Consumer Rights Directive has just come into force. Its declared aim is to promote cross-border trade. Further measures will only be decided once this civil rights package has been implemented and evaluated. In addition, the EU Directive on consumer rights created to a large extent full harmonisation. Hence, significant parts of a Sales Law have been unified EU-wide.
