The Rome Regulations have become the primary source of law in the European Union (EU), replacing national regulations and applying directly to all EU Member States. This has become increasingly important due to the growing number of cross-border issues in Europe. The new European conflict of laws principles have a significant impact on classical core areas of civil law, including contractual law, criminal law, and law of obligation. The commentary provides a comprehensive analysis of the relevant European regulations, including Rome I and Rome II, the Brussels Ibis Regulation, the Service Regulation, the Taking of Evidence Regulation, the Enforcement Order Regulation, and the European Insolvency Regulation. It also considers international arbitration conventions, such as the New York Convention and the UNCITRAL-ML Convention. The commentary focuses on the recast of the Brussels I Regulation and the European Insolvency Regulation, as well as the relationship between the general conflict of laws rules and the national law of the Member States. It takes account of disputes before national courts, such as arbitration proceedings.
