Private Law in the External Relations of the EU
Marise Cremona and Hans-W Micklitz
Abstract
This book explores the interaction between EU external relations law and private law. In what ways might European private law be a tool to achieve EU external regulatory objectives? In what ways might developing EU external competence over the procedural dimensions of private law, including private international law, impact on substantive law, both externally and internally? The perception of EU external relations and private law as two separate fields unconnected to each other changes dramatically if private law is understood as regulatory private law, the space where regulatory law intersect ...

This book explores the interaction between EU external relations law and private law. In what ways might European private law be a tool to achieve EU external regulatory objectives? In what ways might developing EU external competence over the procedural dimensions of private law, including private international law, impact on substantive law, both externally and internally? The perception of EU external relations and private law as two separate fields unconnected to each other changes dramatically if private law is understood as regulatory private law, the space where regulatory law intersects with private economic activity. This book is intended to open up a field of enquiry into the to-date underexplored relationship between these two fields of law. In doing so it addresses both the ways in which EU private law extends its reach beyond the boundaries of the internal market, and the ways in which the EU contributes to the formation of private regulation at the international level. It is argued that changes in the scope of EU competence and its external relations practice in both private international law and regulatory private law, alongside the growth of international regulatory private law, combine in ways which are both interesting legally and of increasing importance.
