Together with its sister, the Rome I Regulation, the Rome II Regulation, is the core of
European private international law. To emphasise its imminence would be tantamount to
carrying owls to Athens. It has found its place in the hearts and minds of practitioners and
academics alike all over Europe. Its inception marked the start of EU legislation on conflict
of laws. It premiered and pioneered since it was the first codificatory project of the EU in the
field of PIL to see the light.
The effort of completing a truly pan-European commentary mirrors the pan-European
nature of its fascinating object. This commentary for the first time assembles a team of very
prominent and renowned authors from total Europe. The authors’ geographical proveni-
ence stretches from the Netherlands to the Czech Republic and Poland, and from Italy,
Spain and Portugal to Sweden. The time has been definitely ripe to start such a venture
already for quite a while.
This commentary is the first full scale article-by-article commentary on the Rome II Regu-
lation in English by a pan-European team, to address. It is truly European in nature and
style. It provides thorough and succinct in-depth analysis of every single Article and offers
most valuable guidance for lawyers, judges and academics throughout Europe. It is an
indispensable working tool for all practitioners involved in this field of law.
Everyone who has ever undertaken the venture to edit a multi-author work only too well
knows about the absolute necessity of competent assistance. The editors thus are absolutely
grateful and cannot remotely express the thanks and accolades due to our backing team at
Hamburg in a proper fashion. Without them it would have been virtually impossible to
complete this commentary. Naemi Czempiel and Helen Loose with sheer and utter inde-
fatigability undertook the burdensome task of compiling the index and the Table of Cases of
decisions by the ECJ and the CJEU. The list of Abbreviations was prepared by Professor
Mankowski. Secretarial support was rendered by Primrose Holders. Very special thanks are
due to the division of Otto Schmidt that formerly was Sellier European Law Publishers, in
person Andreas Pittrich and Anna Rosch. Apart from being incredibly patient and well-
minded they kept the faith in this project (what was not the easiest task at times).
