His response included that the Government shared many of the concerns of the FMLC and that the Government strongly opposed any move towards harmonisation of contract law.

Lord Woolf on behalf of the Financial Markets Law Committee wrote to the UK Ministry of Justice on the CFR, 1 June, 2009
The Common Frame of Reference (the “CFR”) was raised at a meeting of the FMLC (Financial Markets Law Committee) on 2 April 2009. The project is one of a series of initiatives by the European Commission to increase the overall coherence of European contract law. It began largely as an academic exercise and, in December 2007, a first draft of an ‘academic’ Common Frame of Reference (the “DCFR”) was published. Since that time, there has been a great deal of discussion as to whether the DCFR can be used as a model for a political CFR and, indeed, what uses a political CFR would serve. Now that the DCFR is in final form, the FMLC feels it appropriate to express its views on the project to the UK Ministry of Justice.
To see the FMLC's views on the CFR, see Issue 97 below.
