Summary/Abstract: The idea of a single European legislation appears shortly after the development of the European structure, but the wish to obtain a European Civil Code was clearly expressed much later. Considered by some as utopia, the wish to achieve a single legislation develops along with the European structure and this thought becomes the only concern of Europeans. The materialization of this goal begins in the department of contract law, using directives to prepare national legislation for a Code of Contracts. However, these concerns also extend to other areas such as tourism and judicial cooperation. The present time seems to lead us to a future of a European Civil Code, which is increasingly necessary to eliminate problems occurred due to differences in national legal systems and to bring efficiency to globalized economy in Europe. A European Civil Code would have immediate influence on the economic relations between Member States, providing security, speed and predictability for transactions.
