Common Frame of Reference Update May 2009

National Ministries of Justice are still awaiting the EU Commission's proposal for a political CFR.

The Project has been transferred to the "Justice" Directorate of the Commission. The relevant Commissioner has indicated that the DG will conduct a complete review of the work done to date but, the time frame for this is not yet known.

Some National Ministries of Justice including the UK have particular concerns regarding the usefulness of the academic CFR as a basis for a political CFR.

This update is brought to you by Paul Abbiati, a PMMS Legal Consultant www.pmms-group.com and the Vice-Chair of The ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) Task Force on EU Contract Law
