In January 2010 Viviane Reding, the European Commissioner-designate for Justice, praised the Draft Common Frame of Reference at a hearing before the European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee saying it was a "wonderful piece of work" and the "embryo for a European Civil Code".
Viviane Reding added that she would like to do something with the DCFR. She added:
"It would be a pity if it just stayed in the universities. An expert group would work on it. There would be a Communication from the Commission in the summer of 2010. That would be the chance for the Parliament and others to express views. The plan would be to have an actual instrument in 2011. The Commission would help with translations."
