EU-POLAND: Polish Presidency - Justice priorities: Poland's Justice Minister, Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, has presented detailed priorities in the area of justice for the incoming Polish Presidency in the Council. In an article for Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza (link) he enumerated the following tasks:

An optional instrument for European contract law;
Cross-border succession law, introduction of a succession certificate;
Revision of the Brussels I regulation (on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters);
Directive on integration of national registers of companies;
Directive on victims' rights and a directive on special safeguards for suspected or accused persons;
Directive on access to a lawyer;
Adoption of a directive on combating sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children and child pornography.

Curiously there was no mentioning of revision of framework decision on European arrest warrant, originally the principal task declared by the Polish authorities.

Our work is only possible with your support.
