The regulation No 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 11 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II) introduced uniform European choice of law rules which allow parties to agree to submit their non-contractual obligations to the law of their choice. The paper discusses the admissibility of such choice of law, its subjective and objective limits as well as the form and legal consequences. In order to established the role played by the party autonomy in the European conflict of laws it is necessary to perceive the regulation on the law applicable to contractual regulation No 593/2008 ('Rome I'), regulation 'Rome II' and the regulation No 44/2001 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters ('Brussels I') as three complementary instruments forming cornerstone of the European codification of the private international law.
