The Minister of Justice, Francisco Caamaño, stressed in the opening the seminar "Brussels I: the reform of international litigation in Europe", held in Madrid, that the free movement of judgments and public documents on goods, persons, services and capital is "an instrument of economic policy and a mean to advance on the creation of a European judicial area".
In his speech, the justice minister stressed that "the fewer obstacles there are in order to recognize and execute decisions in a Member State from another, the more citizens and companies will save. Similarly, he added that they are working on simplifying administrative burdens affecting the mutual recognition ".
Francisco Caamaño stressed that "this is the objective to be pursued, as it is recognized both by provision 81 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Program of Stockholm, approved in December by Prime Ministers and Heads of State meeting at the European Council.
I will tell you more on the European Executive Title tomorrow.
