In 2003 the Commission on European Contract Law (hereinafter: CECL) published the Principles of European Contract Law Part III (hereinafter: PECL III) which contained the provisions on EU set-off (hereinafter: EU model law of set-off). These are soft law provisions whose text was the result of the work of the most prominent academics from EU Member States. Considering that the Germanic, Romanic, and English set-off models coexist on the territory of the EU, the EU model law of set-off represents a reconciliation of the different private law traditions and models of set-off. During the 25 years since the adoption of the EU model law of set-off, several significant changes have occurred in the EU, which relate to its set-off law directly and indirectly. The most significant change is certainly the issue of Brexit and the possibility of Great Britain leaving the EU. Furthermore, it is important to note that automatic set-off was abandoned in France, which means it has replaced the Romanic set-off model with the German model. This paper starts with the context in which the European set-off rules were adopted. Then, the author identifies the nomotechnical and practical deficiencies in the EU model law of set-off in the context of the changed circumstances in the EU. The final part of the paper presents propositions for the change of the existing EU model law of set-off, which would help overcome the identified deficiencies and gaps. Consideration is also given to the question of whether, after Brexit and the change in the French set-off rules, the provisions of the EU model law of set-off which were influenced by English and French set-off laws should be removed. Keywords: set-off, EU set-off, PECL III, Brexit.

重新思考英国退欧时代的抵制欧洲示范法和法国民法典的最新改革

2003年，欧洲合同法委员会（以下称CECL）发布了《欧洲合同法原则》第III部分（以下称PECL III），其中包含有关欧盟抵销的规定（以下称欧盟抵销示范法）。这些是软法规定，其案文是欧盟成员国最杰出学者的工作成果。考虑到日耳曼语，罗马语和英语抵销模式在欧盟领土上共存，欧盟抵销示范法代表了各种私法传统和抵销模式的调和。自通过欧盟抵销示范法以来的25年中，欧盟发生了数项重大变化，这些变化直接或间接地与欧盟的抵销法有关。当然，最重大的变化是英国退欧问题以及英国退出欧盟的可能性。此外，必须指出的是，法国已放弃了自动抵销，这意味着它已用德国模型取代了罗马式抵销模型。本文从采用欧洲抵销规则的背景开始。然后，作者在欧盟环境变化的背景下，确定了欧盟抵消示范法在技术上和实践上的缺陷。本文的最后部分提出了改变现有欧盟抵制示范法的主张，这将有助于克服已发现的不足和差距。还考虑了在英国脱欧和法国抵销规则变更后，是否，受英国和法国抵销法影响的欧盟抵销示范法条款应予删除。关键字：抵销，欧盟抵销，PECL III，脱欧。
