abstract
Currently at EU level, there discussions on suitability of unification some common legal rules of private law, mainly the law of contracts take place. Present sectoral approach of European legislation to the normative regulation of interna) market shows alerting deficiencies. Generally, trouble is not the porous structure itself. More worse result is ununified terminology, comminuted method of regulation, diverse quality and strictness of harmonization of member states of EU and also following heterogenous application of law. These consequences become evident in the interna) market. Cross-border trade within EU is still rare event. Businessmen probably apprehend to make a step on the unknown soil. They can not be sure which new duties and consequent costs would it l market. These troubles will increase mainly due to the growth of e-business and prospect entrance of new member states. At the EU level, the discussion on unification, which would solve problems mentioned above has been started slowly. Does the unification stands derogation of national civil codes and in case of Great Britain the derogation of huge sector of their common law? Unification has been refused and on the other hand embraced by many politicians and experts for either material or symbolic reasons. In 2003, European Commission assumed an Action pian in which outlined its concept of prospect development: Detailed analyse of legal orders of member states will be elaborated. Subsequently on its ground, a set of optional rules of private law will be prepared. Road to exclusive code will depend on success of this facultative legal framework.
