It is with great satisfaction that I welcome the unanimous approval of the first package of four bills concerning the modernization of Family Law by the Plenary Session of the Parliament.
We have taken a very important step today, since modern concepts such as consensual divorce, equality between spouses and the normalisation of family relations have been adopted with the adoption of the child-centred bills.
At the same time, the bills contribute to speeding up the time for the hearing of family cases, since it is no longer necessary for three judges to hear family cases, but only one.
Warm thanks to the political parties who supported the bills with their proposals and their positive vote. I am optimistic that with the prevailing consensual climate, the remaining four bills currently under discussion, which complete the modernization of Family Law, will receive similar treatment.
Finally, I would like to thank the members of the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Affairs for their excellent cooperation and in particular its Chairman, as well as all the stakeholders, whose views helped in the final formulation of the bills.
