Summary/Abstract: The article covers the Europen Commission’s proposal of sales law. The regulation aims at creation of ancilliary rules existing simultaneously with national civil codes. As we can read in grounds for the proposal Differences in contract law between Member States hinder traders and consumers who want to engage in cross-border trade within the internal market. The obstacles which stem from these differences dissuade traders, small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in particular, from entering cross border trade or expanding to new Member States’ markets’. The regulation includes only B2C relations. In B2B transactions it can be applied if at least one of the parties is SME (small and medium-sized enterprises). The author presents all regulation and wonders how the regulation can affect future of private law in Europe.
