La libera circolazione degli atti pubblici in materia civile: un passo avanti nello spazio giudiziario europeo

Abstract

The Union has set the objective of developing an area of freedom, security and justice in which the access to justice for citizens and companies in cross border civil matters is ensured. In order to achieve an European Judicial Area the Union should adopt certain measures in civil cooperation. The aim is to remove obstacles in civil procedures emerging from the exercise of the freedom of movement. In that context one of the most important measure is to ensure the free circulation of authentic acts within the Union. It means simplify the existing administrative requirements or judicial obstacles relating to the presentation in a Member State of certain authentic acts/public documents issued by the authorities of another Member State.
