Summary
Preparation of the Rome Convention
With an initiative to draft a convention regulating conflicts of norms of substantive law relevant to contractual obligations, was requested by the authorities of the Benelux. On August 8, 1967, the permanent representative of Belgium, acting on the authority of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands provided the Commission with the European Economic Community draft convention on the law applicable to contractual obligations with the proposed establishment of a commission of experts – representatives of other Member States of the EEC to take legislative work aimed at unification of different national rules of international private law. The opening meeting of the legislative work that led to the adoption of the Rome Convention (“Rome I”) was held on February 26–28, 1969. In his opening speech, Chairman of the Governmental Experts T. Vogelaar, Director-General of the Commission on the common market and the adoption of the national laws of the Member States of the EEC, specified targets that should be implemented by the Convention. In his opinion, the draft convention was to lead to full unification of conflict of law rules within the common market. The same conflict of law rules applicable to conflict resolution of the substantive rules relating to the obligations under the contract should be valid in six Member States of the EEC, not only in their mutual relations, but also the legal relations with third countries.
