The Austrian Chamber of Civil Law Notaries organised a seminar on 22 November addressing challenges and experiences relating to the application of the EU Regulation on Successions. Around 90 notaries and legal practitioners from different EU countries, as well as participants from the European Commission, attended the seminar.
The public seminar was followed on 23 November by the working group meeting of the European Notarial Network. The assembly had the significant participation of Christian Rauscher from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Constitutional Affairs, Reforms, Deregulation and Justice. Mr Rauscher presented the experience of the Austrian contact point of the European Judicial Network and remarked the importance of cooperation with the notaries via the ENN which was set up taking inspiration from the model of the EJN.
