Methods for unifying private law in the EU
Private law regulates relationships between private individuals, for example between a consumer and a business. The EU may legislate in this area only where specifically authorised by the Treaties, for instance to harmonise national private-law rules posing obstacles to the functioning of the internal market, or to promote judicial cooperation in civil matters. The two types of legal instruments used by the EU legislature in the area of private law are directives and regulations. Some directives are based on minimum harmonisation, meaning that they allow Member States (MS) to retain higher consumer protection standards. Other directives are based on full harmonisation, allowing no deviation from their standard of protection. Regulations, directly applicable in the MS are used mainly in the field of civil procedure, private international law and intellectual property law.
