".
Madam President, international private law pertains to two questions. The first question is: which court is authorised? The second question is: which law should the court apply?
It is understandable, in my view, that the first question is dealt with at European level. This guarantees that every European citizen can put their case before a court of law.
The second question relates to an area that is typically dealt with, and indeed should be dealt with, by the Member States themselves. Existing national legislation is subject to many national principles, and these should be observed.
The Commission’s proposal also intends to harmonise these collision rules, though. Mrs Gebhardt’s report respects most of the Commission’s report and does not attempt to remove Chapter IIa from the proposal. For this reason, I shall be voting against the report and against the proposal. I would therefore ask the Council to reject the Commission’s proposal too."@en1
