It analyzes the concept of “European Law” and “EU law” as elements of Europeancivilization and their correlation is determined. On the basis of differentiation between the Western and the Eastern European civilizations a conclusion about the existenceof corresponding traditions of private law is made. The idea that the concept of privatelaw is grounded in western culture is based on the fact that there is a need for the adaptation of Ukrainian law to EU law.
