ABSTRACT
European Union (EU) legislations encompass various fields and are mainly concerned with the economic and social relations within the European Union. However, many of the European Union legal instruments contain provisions whose scope is sometimes blurring the line of territorial limitation to the EU. What is the nature of these measures? Which areas of private law are affected? What is the extent of extraterritorial applications of the EU law? What are the underlying policies? In today’s world characterised with manifold level of connectedness and frequent cross-border acting, the multinational non-EU players should be well aware of any extraterritorial reach of EU laws. This chapter is intended to explore the blurred line of territorial limitation of EU laws and provide an insight into some of the questions arising in that respect.
