And what happened with the Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war into the EU? These are among the most common and important questions shaping ...

Cross-border parental child abductions in the EU are governed by The 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and (except for Denmark) the Brussels II-ter Regulation.

De un vistazo 06-03-2024

En respuesta a los reiterados llamamientos del Parlamento Europeo para que se establezcan normas comunes a escala de la Unión que faciliten la actividad transfronteriza de las organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro, la Comisión ha propuesto una Directiva relativa a las asociaciones transfronterizas europeas (ECBA).

El objetivo es modernizar el marco jurídico para hacer frente a las bajas tasas de embargo y decomiso de los beneficios de origen delictivo. Tras tres rondas de negociaciones interinstitucionales, el Parlamento y el Consejo alcanzaron un acuerdo provisional sobre la propuesta de Directiva el 12 de diciembre ...
