"Cross-border succession issues have not hitherto been regulated at EU level, which has entailed many difficulties for successors. Both substantive law and rules on international jurisdiction as well as applicable law differ considerably across Member States, and I therefore welcome the European Commission’s proposal. Issues such as adopting a broad definition of inheritance, a broad concept of the court, regulation of the court’s jurisdiction and the introduction of a uniform statute of succession are important solutions facilitating succession with cross-border implications. The recognition of documents with significance for succession matters and a European Certificate of Succession also constitutes progress, aiming to speed up matters of succession with cross-border implications. I welcome the report, and I am pleased that the Commission has approved most of the solutions proposed by Parliament back in 2006 in its resolution with recommendations for the Commission on succession and wills. Thanks to this proposal, citizens in the European Union are guaranteed legal clarity and certainty as well as a clear basis for the formation of their estate. Thanks to these provisions, Europeans will be able to exercise their rights in the internal market more effectively. Legal clarity and legal certainty are the most important elements which should be guaranteed in the area of succession law. The regulation strengthens these aspects, benefits the public and guarantees added value for the European Union."@en1
