A Redefinition of the Principles of the Acquis Communautaire

Abstract

In search of a more coherent contract law, the Acquis Principles (AC-QP) sought to probe Community Law in order to better understand its intricacies and provided tools for a proper harmonisation of private law in the area of Contract law. They sought to systematise and consolidate Community private law in order to provide indispensable support for the drafting of the Common Frame of Reference (CFR) and were intended to facilitate the implementation of Community law in national law, to support future Community legislation and to facilitate its interpretation (Art.1:101 ACQP).
