Who has a stake in European contract law?
In its communication of October 2004 (The Way
Forward ) the European Commission said that stakeholder participation in the
elaboration of a Common Frame of Reference (CFR) by researchers was essential.
It therefore announced that it would set up a network of stakeholder experts
which should ‘make an ongoing, detailed contribution to the researchers’
preparatory work’ (The Way Forward, 10). This was an excellent idea:
the Commission rightly acknowledges that drafting a common European contract law
is not a merely technical exercise. There are many diverging interests at stake.
Therefore, the creation of a CFR cannot be left entirely to
academics.
