Abstract: Abstract. This article analyzes the provisions of the new E.E.C. directive on product liability and examines the complex evolution of such liability in Western Europe. Interpretations and criticisms are offered. All twelve members must revise their laws and meet the Directive's standards and spirit. The Directive is important not only because of the highly significant changes it presents to multinational companies operating in Western Europe but because it is an outstanding example of the trend towards more supranational business law and it represents a considerable accomplishment of the consumer movement.
