Libera circulaţie în Uniunea Europeană
Free movement in the European Union

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to disclose the relationship between the free movements of goods, services, capital and persons and contract law, especially the remedies offered to non-performance of a contract. They are directly connected, since contract law provides the legal framework of the free movements. Nevertheless, the relevance of contract law for the internal market is reflected in the number of ECJ rulings. Primary, internal regulations concerning contract law may be divergent to the free movements. Lastly, the contract following the agreement of the parties may be divergent to a rule of national public law, which is a barrier to trade and must be eliminated. This will affect the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. Moreover, the importance of Contract Law for the internal market is highlighted by the Principles of European Contract, the product of work carried out by the Commission on European Contract law, composed of a body of lawyers from all the Member States of the European Union.
