Abstract In practice, Article 114 TFEU offers the European Commission the possibility to develop proposals in very many different areas, including consumer law. However, it is commonly believed that it does not provide a legal basis to adopt an overarching instrument of private law – whether the instrument would constitute a ‘European Civil Code’ or a ‘European Code of Contract Law’ or some other generic instrument. In this contribution, the question whether and to what extent harmonization of private law is attainable and, if so, what type of harmonization is preferable, is discussed.
