内容简介

The book presents the sale of goods law of more than 20 European countries, the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods and the EC-Directives governing the sale of goods. Each chapter outlines the main aspects of the respective national or international law, concentrated on the legal issues that are most important within business practice. Thereby the book describes the applicable provisions for commercial and consumer contracts as well as for distance trade, e-commerce and international transactions. As the single parts are based on a general questionnaire, each country report is structured in the same way. Thus (cross-) comparisons could easily be made. The book enables users to understand the legal structure of foreign sale of goods laws and to allocate main frictions with regard to their own sale of goods law or in comparison with several different legislations. As in the near future trade within the European Union and between the European countries and the Member States of the European Union will increase consistently even on the level of small and midsize companies, the book is a very helpful means to get a concise overview about the provisions applicable in such relationships.
