Divorce Proceedings may Be Eased in Eight EU Nations
The eight -- Austria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Romania, Slovenia and Spain -- sent official letters to the European Commission, which will draw up a plan for them to work more closely together.
It is the first time the procedure -- known in Brussels as "enhanced cooperation" -- has been used in the European Union.
"The procedure has been launched. We will have to wait and see if other countries will rally to it, to create enough momentum," the diplomat said.
The commission, the EU's executive body, said Wednesday that it had not yet received the letters, in a move made necessary after Sweden resisted all attempts to harmonise divorce laws across the 27-nation bloc.
Around 170,000 couples from different nations divorce each year but the EU has struggled to help end fighting over which court should settle their separation, at an often difficult and emotional time.
Sweden strives to expedite divorces as quickly as possible, while the process can take far longer elsewhere, with some nations demanding a period of separation before any court divorce can begin.
Laws are tougher than most in Poland and Ireland, while Malta does not recognise the right to divorce at all. Adultery is recognised in courts in France, but not in Finland.
