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

The European Parliament adopted by 490 votes to 68, with 34 abstentions, in the framework of a special legislative procedure (Parliament’s consultations), a legislative resolution 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.

Parliament approved the Commission proposal without amendment.

To recall, the aim of the proposal is to establish a clear, legal framework in the European Union for determining jurisdiction and the law applicable to the property consequences of registered partnerships. It therefore deals with matters of jurisdiction, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of decisions regarding the property consequences of a registered partnership. The rules proposed are concerned only with cross-border cases.
