Publication metadata
Council Regulation (EC) No 4/2009 of 18 December 2008 on jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of decisions and cooperation in matters relating to maintenance obligations (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Maintenance Regulation’ or just ‘the Regulation’) entered into force on 30 January 2009 and became applicable on 18 June 2011. It became the second Regulation adopted at EU level relating to family matters. The Regulation establishes common rules for all EU Member States aiming to ensure the effective recovery of maintenance claims. The objective of the Regulation is to facilitate the payment of maintenance obligations in cross-border situations. To enable this process to function effectively, the Maintenance Regulation provides for a system of cooperation between Central Authorities designated by Member States. These Authorities should assist maintenance creditors and debtors in asserting their rights in another Member State by submitting applications for recognition, enforceability (where necessary) and enforcement of existing maintenance decisions, for the modification of such decisions or for the establishment of a decision. They should also exchange information in order to locate maintenance debtors and maintenance creditors and identify their income and assets. Finally, they are obligated to cooperate with one another by exchanging general information and promoting cooperation amongst the competent authorities in their Member State.
