Riconoscimento delle sentenze in materia di famiglia, obbligazioni e testamenti in tutta Europa

The Council agreed on procedures for the negotiation and conclusion of bilateral agreements between member states and third countries concerning:

– jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgments and decisions in matrimonial matters, parental responsibility and maintenance obligations, and applicable law in matters relating to maintenance; and

– applicable law in contractual and non-contractual obligations.

The Council adopted guidelines on a common frame of reference for European contract law.

The aim of the agreed regulations is to authorise a member state to amend an existing agreement or to negotiate and conclude a new agreement with a third country in certain areas of civil justice through a functional and simplified arrangement, while ensuring that the "acquis communautaire" will be safeguarded.
