Sir F.

The so-called Europeanisation of private law has two dimensions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One concerns the implications of existing legislation and case-law emanating from the organs of the EU for national private laws (eg product liability (Dir 85\/374), environmental liability (Dir 2004\/35), liability of the Member States and the non-contractual liability of the European Union).<\/li>\n<li>The other is of a scholarly nature, and relates to various academic proposals for common European rules and principles in the area of private law based on comparative research: the European Group on Tort Law and the Study Group on a European Civil Code have both independently from another introduced proposals for restatements of European tort law.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Notes<\/h3>\n<p>1.
