The main source of EU Law regarding law applicable to international carriage is Rome I Regulation of 17 June 2008, replacing the Convention on Law Applicable to Contractual Obligation of 19 June 1980/EEC. Article 5 of the EU Regulation introduces special (autonomous) conflict of law provisions for contracts of carriage and it does extend these special provision also to the transport of persons. Special provisions of Article 5 of the Regulation distinguish between special rules for contracts for the carriage of goods (Article 5(1) of the Regulation) and for contracts for the carriage of persons (Article 5(2) of the Regulation). The Convention, as opposed to the Regulation, nevertheless contains one provision that has been quite important and this is the third sentence of Article 4(4) of the Convention. It is clear from the concept of the Regulation that the latter has chosen to use a relatively very wide foundation for the qualification of contact of carriage. Pursuant to Regulation if the country of the habitual residence of the carrier and the place of receipt (into the custody of the carrier) or the place of delivery or the habitual residence of the consignor is also situated in that country, then the law of the country of the habitual residence of the carrier shall be used (Article 5(1) sentence 1 of the Regulation). If the place of receipt or the place of delivery or the habitual residence of the consignor are located in a country different from that of the habitual residence of the carrier, then the law of the country where the place of delivery as agreed by the parties is situated shall apply.
