União Europeia harmoniza as regras aplicáveis à responsabilidade civil (Regulamento "Roma II")
IP/07/679
Brussels, 16 May 2007
After four years of negotiations, the European Parliament and the Council, meeting in the Conciliation Committee yesterday evening, approved a regulation harmonising the rules concerning the law applicable to non-contractual obligations ("Rome II"). This measure is part of the work in progress in the European Union on creating a genuine European area of freedom and justice.
The aim is to ensure that courts in all the Member States apply the same law in the event of cross-border disputes in matters of tort/delict, thus facilitating the mutual recognition of court decisions in the European Union. The rules that have been adopted make it possible to strike a proper balance between the interests of the various parties involved in a cross-border dispute and to designate a law which is closely connected with the situation.
