The seventh EFFORTS Newsletter has just been released, giving access to up-to-date information about the Project, save-the-dates on forthcoming events, conferences and webinars, and news from the area of international and comparative civil procedural law.
In this framework, the EFFORTS International Exchange Seminar was organised and hosted online by the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg on February 25th, 2022: an account of the resulting engaged discussions between academics and practitioners in the field of cross-border enforcement of claims will be given in the Report on practices in a comparative and cross-border perspective, to be published soon on the Project website.

Vulnerable adults: webinar
The EAPIL asked us to share information about their Webinar “What Measures Should the EU Adopt to Enhance the Protection of Adults in Europe?” on 10 March from 17 to 19.00 Central European Time (GMT +1). You can register until 9 March.
This is in response to the European Commission’s public consultation on the need for improved EU cooperation in the field of the protection of adults, in conjunction with the Hague Convention of 2000.
Also of note is that the Hague Conference on Private International Law is in the process of drawing up a practical handbook and has launched its consultation with Member States on the the draft practical handbook.
