Edited by Study Group on a European Civil Code and Research Group on the Existing EC Private Law (Acquis Group)

A year ago, the "Draft Common Frame of Reference" was published for the first time in an interim outline edition. Now we proudly present the final outline edition of the DCFR.

- major new topics covered - revised and expanded list of definitions - revision of the already published text to take account of the public discussion - an additional section on the principles underlying the model rules

The six-volume full edition of the DCFR including all comments and notes will be published in October 2009.
