Zwingendes Vertragsrecht und Grundfreiheiten des EG-Vertrages

Do legal provisions on contractual obligations, consumer and small business protection restrict the fundamental freedoms guaranteed in the EC Treaty? Are public policy rules on nullity of immoral contracts such as telephone sex, standards for determining usury, rights to call in a loan, compensation claims of French tenants of business premises or German contract dealers and German control of standard business conditions in accordance with European law? Oliver Remien does a careful analysis of the rulings of the European Court of Justice on fundamental freedoms and shows the particular relevance of international mandatory standards of contractual law for the Single European Market.
