The European Commission's Common Frame of Reference Project: a progress report

Readers will be familiar with the European Commission's plan to create a Common Frame of Reference (‘CFR’). The aim is to provide ‘fundamental principles, definitions and model rules’ that can assist in the improvement of the existing acquis communautaire, and that might form the basis of an Optional Instrument if it is decided to create one. Meanwhile there is to be a parallel review of eight consumer Directives. Readers will know that a ‘Network of Excellence’ has been funded under the Sixth Framework Programme (‘FP6’) to produce a draft CFR by the end of 2007. They will have read an account of the network of stakeholders (the ‘CFR-net’) established to comment on the researchers' drafts. This paper is one ‘researcher's’ personal report on progress since the first stakeholder workshop in March 2005.
