Press Release: European Commission proposes an optional Common European Sales Law to boost trade and expand consumer choice

The European Commission has proposed an optional Common European Sales Law to help break down these barriers and give consumers more choice and a high level of protection. It will facilitate trade by offering a single set of rules for cross-border contracts in all 27 EU countries. If traders offer their products on the basis of the Common European Sales law, consumers would have the option of choosing a user-friendly European contract with a high level of protection.
