It has only been possible in this study to address some issues relating to the CISG. There are many more questions to be answered, and I would like to have looked in much more detail at the applicability of individual provisions of the CISG.[168] However, in forecasting the impact of the CISG in the UK, it is not only theoretical issues that have to be considered. Attention must also be paid to the economic and political consequences of ratification. Especially in the domain of commercial law, one has to be aware of the commercial concerns of the business community and also the political impact of a healthy trading relationship with foreign countries. The courts and legislature have the role of answering to the business community and wherever possible facilitating trade as opposed to regulating it. Therefore, even if there are aspects of the CISG that remain undesirable or unclear, it must be remembered that, in many respects, the same can be said of the SOGA 1979; yet, this should not detract from the principal aim of aiding and encouraging commerce. The commercial world today bears no comparison to what it was at the turn of the last century. Businesses have recognized this, and law firms too have seen the need to provide their clients with a global service. Adoption of the CISG can only further this move and enable traders in the UK to deal with much greater security in a much wider range of markets.
