INTERNATIONAL SALES AGREEMENTS
The international procurement and sale of goods is clothed in the most diverse forms. Successive supply contracts and framework agreements expect significantly more in terms of regulations than supply contracts for individual cases. Moreover, these contracts are often integrated into supply chains and therefore need to be carefully coordinated with the preceding and subsequent supply stages to avoid frictions. Even if the parties are in agreement - ultimately the buyer and seller pursue opposite interests.
Piltz Legal offers you many years of experience and comprehensive expertise for the conception and structuring of your international supply relationships and is competently represented in practice as well as in academia in the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods/CISG and the Incoterms prevailing in international sales contracts.
The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the Incoterms open up much more scope than national German law, which is often not exploited. Moreover, it offers itself as a neutral bridge.
The exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods/CISG, which 94 legislators around the world have envisaged as the rule, can only be justified after a comprehensive weighing of the pros and cons. For the international buyer and the international seller of consumer goods, the national German law is significantly more disadvantageous.

ECJ ruling on VIN and general aspects of the term 'personal data'
The consequences of the ECJ's decision in Case C-319/22 (also referred to as the ‘Scania case’) of November 9, 2023 will certainly be discussed in the data protection scene for a long time to come. It is already visible that the judgment creates big waves in the automotive industry and related sectors, but also in the data protection community in general. However, it seems doubtable whether this is justified or whether essentially the same aspects as before the decision must be taken into account when clarifying the question of the existence of personal data. In the exact case dealt with by the ECJ, it will first be decided by the Regional Court of Cologne whether the VIN is indeed personal data for vehicle manufacturers and independent operators. The ECJ ruling itself does not yet provide a direct and unambiguous answer
