"Mr President, despite the fact that the European Parliament has repeatedly acknowledged the advantages that would be conferred upon the Internal Market by improvements to the framework of contract law, the introduction of a new system of contract law using an optional instrument has encountered a series of major problems, in terms of both substance and procedure. Above all, the proposals put forward reflect the Commission’s position, which is not supported by the substance of public debate. We do not know the positions held by the individual Member States, or those held by consumer and business representatives. Diverging legal interpretations may result from the lack of clarity of some of the proposed documents, which will be used as a basis for judicial decisions.
Finally, the introduction of an optional instrument would have a significant economic impact on businesses and consumers. There may be very high costs associated with the necessary training, the replacement of standard contract forms and possible court proceedings. In my opinion, it is unwise to impose additional financial burdens on businesses at a time of economic difficulty. On the basis of the above, I voted in favour of rejecting the report."@en1
