Cross border Family Matters: A tour de table of good practices
The project was implemented by EIPA Luxembourg – European Centre for Judges and Lawyers (ECJL) in partnership with KSSIP – Krajowa Szkola Sadownictwa I Prokuratury (Poland) and Unionea Nationala a Barourilor din Romania (UNBR)/The National Association of the Romanian Bars.
Project objectives:
The project aimed to strengthen practitioners’ knowledge of EU family law by improving understanding of the Brussels II bis Regulation and the Maintenance Regulation. Through three-tier training on parental responsibility, child abduction, and family maintenance, participants gained a clearer understanding of cross-border cases, the recast Brussels II Regulation, and the fundamental rights framework under EU and ECHR standards.
The project also resulted in the improvement of mutual trust and cooperation between legal professional in cross border family law cases.
