Preface The European Group on Tort Law is proud to present the ªPrinciples of European Tort Lawº, which have been drafted on the basis of an extensive comparative research project extending over more than a decade and focussing on the most important elements of tort law. This book not only contains the original text of the Principles as well as several translations thereof, but also (and most importantly) an extensive commentary on the entire set of Articles. While only the English version of the Principles has been authorized by the European Group on Tort Law as a whole, the other language versions shall support and facilitate the international discussion on our Principles. These translations have been submitted by members or friends of the Group, for which we are most grateful. We owe profound thanks to Bernhard Koch and his assistants, Dagmar Hinghofer-Szalkay and Helmut Ortner, for their very considerable efforts to make the manuscripts ready for printing. We would also like to thank Springer publishers for their support in the publication of this book. We sincerely hope that this book and our Principles will contribute to and intensify the debate on the law of torts and its harmonisation. We would therefore like to invite you to actively participate in this discussion.
