This study examines the existing (and planned) instances of enhanced cooperation (EnC), their institutional set up and state of play. Our analysis is at this point of time limited to the one EnC case with sufficient implementation record (EnC in divorce law, applied for more than six years to date).

Notwithstanding this overall success, evidence collected over the past years, most notably through evaluation as well ...
