Jurisdiction, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of decisions in matters of property consequences of registered partnerships

The Committee on Legal Affairs adopted, in the framework of a special legislative procedure (Parliament’s consultation), the report by Jean-Marie CAVADA (ADLE, FR) on the proposal for a Council regulation on jurisdiction, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of decisions in matters of the property consequences of registered partnerships.

The committee approved the Commission proposal subject to the introduction of a new definition of ‘Member State’ so as to cover only Member States participating in the Registered Partnerships Regulation, in line with the definition included in Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EU) No 1259/2010 implementing enhanced cooperation in the area of the law applicable to divorce and legal separation (Rome III).
