European contract law is going through a very exciting development phase. The author presents the concept of European contract law, its background, as well as some basic features of the existing European legislation in this field, mainly regulating particular aspects of contractual relations between businesses and consumers. Acquis communautaire evolved without a systematic framework, characteristic for most national contract law systems. It has several shortcomings and inconsistencies. The Commission of the EC is planning to improve it with the current project called the Common Frame of Reference (CFR), which, as it seems, should be a kind of non-binding "tool-box", a manual on European contract law, primarily for European legislator. The author discusses the making, the structure and the contents of the CFR and its recently published draft, the so called DCFR, as well as the possibilities of its use, especially as regards the possible optional instrument in the future. Included is the short comment on the most recent Commission's proposal - a directive aimed at maximum harmonisation of selected aspects of consumer contract law.
