At the request of the Committee on Petitions of the European Parliament, the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs commissioned a study titled Cross-Border Legal Recognition of Parenthood in the EU. It is available here.
Authored by Alina Tryfonidou (Neapolis University of Pafos), the study examines the problem of non-recognition of parenthood between Member States and its causes, the current legal framework and the (partial) solutions it offers to this problem, the background of the Commission proposal for a regulation on jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition of decisions and acceptance of authentic instruments in matters of parenthood and on the creation of a European Certificate of Parenthood, and the text of the proposal. It also provides a critical assessment of the proposal and issues policy recommendations for its improvement.
