Summary/Abstract: On 16 February 2019 Regulation (EU) 2016/1191 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2016 on promoting the free movement of citizens by simplifying the requirements for presenting certain public documents in the European Union and amending Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 will become applicable. The Regulation aims to assure the free circulation of certain official documents in accordance with the principle of mutual trust and in order to promote the free movement of persons within the European Union. The Regulation steps back from the wide proposed scope of the project as set in the Green Paper and the Proposal for Regulation of European Commission. It is not envisaged to really insert the method of recognition of civil status of natural persons in the machinery of European Private International Law, thus leaving it open to the discretion of European Court of Justice to rule out in future cases of discontinuity of personal relationships of European citizens.
