A growing number of countries recognise a direct producers' liability for non-conforming goods. The European Commission has considered the introduction of an EU-wide direct producers' liability for a long time. Will there be new responsibilities for producers in the future? This book compiles national reports from 24 European countries on the sale of goods law as well as the consumer's remedies for non-conforming goods and the final seller's right of redress. A comparative report informs about the different models of producers' liability and their impact on the internal market. Beneficial for practitioners working in the field of consumer contract law and sale of goods law.

La responsabilité du fait des produits illustre les difficultés et les ambiguïtés de l'harmonisation du droit des obligations en Europe. La directive du 25 juillet 1985 relative à la responsabilité du fait des produits défectueux a entendu à la fois harmoniser le droit des États membres de la Communauté européenne et améliorer la protection des consommateurs. Elle n'a toutefois pas eu le succès escompté. Dans presque toute l'Europe, les victimes de produits dommageables continuent à invoquer de préférence les régimes de responsabilité du fait des produits développés avant la transposition de la directive de 1985, plutôt que le régime prévu par le texte communautaire. Le présent ouvrage analyse les raisons de cet échec de la directive, à l'échelle européenne. Il démontre que les différences entre les divers régimes nationaux de responsabilité du fait des produits, qui ont justifié le processus communautaire d'harmonisation, sont plus apparentes que réelles. Il existe en effet une logique commune qui unit tous ces régimes. Or, la directive de 1985 n'a nullement rompu avec cette logique. La continuité existant entre la directive et les régimes qui l'ont précédée explique la faible incidence du texte communautaire sur les droits nationaux. Elle éclaire par ailleurs les évolutions possibles de ces derniers, à l'heure où la Cour de justice des Communautés européennes semble vouloir interdire la coexistence dans chaque pays de plusieurs régimes distincts de responsabilité du fait des produits. L'auteur montre en particulier comment, dans le cas de la France, la disparition éventuelle de la responsabilité fondée sur le manquement du vendeur professionnel à son obligation de sécurité serait sans réelle conséquence sur les droits dont disposent les victimes de produits dommageables.

How to tackle environmental damage from the throwaway society is one of the defining questions of the twenty-first century. By establishing a circular economy, we can encourage and support sustainable production and consumption. These essays by an international group of leading scholars from a range of disciplines analyse policies and legal instruments and challenge mainstream assumptions, from the choice of a policy mix to the actual effect of imposing standards on the market, and from corporate objectives and priorities to the use of precaution in assessing particularly harmful substances. Each chapter contributes to a better understanding of the current policy and regulatory framework in Europe and identifies the challenges and opportunities ahead. The book breaks new ground by examining how product policies can contribute to important objectives and visions, such as the aims of the circular economy. It is a must-read for researchers as well as for policymakers and practitioners.
