EXTRACT

Regulations (EU) 2016/1103 and 2016/1104 are a milestone in the discipline of the private international law aspects of the property consequences of marriage and registered partnerships in the EU. Both instruments, adopted under the special legislative procedure provided for in Article 81(3) TFEU, form an important part of European family law. They deal with the traditional aspects of judicial cooperation instruments in civil matters: jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of decisions, free movement of authentic instruments and enforcement of transactions. The author (undoubtedly one of the leading specialists in the field at European level) deals with all these issues with the exhaustiveness, depth and practicality to which she is accustomed.

The author, a Notary Public in Madrid and Lawyer at the DGRN, was a negotiator of the Regulation, a member of the Inheritance Committee that approved its implementation and rapporteur of Law 29/2015, which implemented the European standard in Spain. She has also worked actively in the legislative process of Law 15/2015, especially in notarial proceedings. This is therefore a rigorous and exhaustive work, with the added bibliographical value of citing the most important working documents used in the negotiation. Emphasis is placed on the interrelation of European law with Spanish international, interregional, civil, procedural and registry law. A practical guide is included.
