Civil and commercial judicial cooperation: transmission and service of documents between the Member States, Brussels and The Hague conventions

In adopting the report adopted by Mr. Kurt LECHNER (EPP/ED, D), the European Parliament advocated that the act for adoption should be a Council Regulation and not, as the Commission had proposed, a Directive. It also adopted a certain number of amendments with the purpose of deleting certain derogations and exceptions. It also stressed the importance of the drawing up of a concise guide to the law relating to the use of languages in the Member States, together with a list of approved translators and translation agencies.�
