Trascendencia de la cooperación judicial europea en materia civil en el Derecho privado de los Estados miembros y sus entes territoriales

Abstract

In the context of the common area of freedom, security and justice, judicial cooperation in civil matters is lately being a particularly dynamic field. As a result the European Union has issued numerous European instruments harmonizing rules of private international law and procedural law which previously belonged to the competence of Member States. There is no doubt that these European instruments will also have a decisive influence in shaping solutions to domestic conflicts of laws.
