More and more Europeans are working, studying or living in Member states other than that of their citizenship. As a consequence the likehood of citizens being involved in disputes in the area of civil justice in another Member State is increased. According to a the new Eurobarometer survey in the civil justice area, 3 out of 4 Europeans (73%) want further action to help them resolve such kind of disputes and expressed the view that this is the EU's responsibility.
The main themes addressed in this survey are:
• The role of the EU in cross-border civil justice
• EU citizens’ experience of civil justice in other Member States and non EU countries
• EU citizens’ perceptions of difficulties in cross-border civil justice
• Awareness and experience of the EU’s cross-border legal procedures
• The role of the EU in cross-border family law
• EU citizens’ experiences showing civil status documents and their perceptions of several proposed recognition measures
