Presentation of the achievements of the Slovenian Presidency by Slovenian Minister of Justice Lovro Šturm at the meeting of the European Parliament Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI)
Date: 26.06.2008
Venue: Brussels
Policy area: Justice and Home Affairs
Type of event: Presidency of the Council in the European Parliament
More:

The President of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council, Dr Lovro Šturm, will appear in the European Parliament before the members of the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) on 26 June 2008.

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs is responsible for the legal protection of the rights and competences of the European Parliament, including its participation in proceedings before the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance. The Committee is also competent for EU measures that have an impact on Member State legislation, including in the fields of civil and commercial law, companies law, intellectual property law and procedural law, as well as environmental liability and sanctions against environmental crime.

Dr Šturm will, among other things, emphasise the significance of the agreement achieved at first reading on the Directive on the protection of the environment through criminal law. He will inform the MEPs of the general approach agreed on the Framework Decision on the enforcement of decisions rendered in absentia, which boosts the level of citizens' rights. He will also inform the committee members on the agreement reached on key chapters of the proposal for a Regulation on Maintenance Obligations. The Slovenian Minister of Justice will notify the MEPs of the Member States' agreement on removing the formalities required to recognise judgments in maintenance obligation matters. Maintenance beneficiaries will thus be able to assert their rights faster and more efficiently in cross-border cases.
