Rome II: Final Version of the Joint Text

A final version of the Rome II joint text, resulting from the legal and linguistic revision, is available in all languages of the EU in the Register of the Council (doc. PE-CONS 3619/07).

According to current forecasts (see the Rome II OEIL page), the joint text should be officially approved today (25 June 2007) by the Conciliation Committee. Pursuant to Art. 251(5) of the EC Treaty, the Parliament and the Council shall adopt the Regulation in accordance with the joint text within a period of six weeks (that can be extended to eight weeks) from this approval.
