AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted a resolution supporting the United Kingdom's accession to the 2019 Judgments Convention on recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in civil or commercial matters.

The resolution welcomes the Commission's positive assessments and backs the accession, which would make the Convention applicable between the EU and the UK from 1 July 2025.

Parliament reiterates that the EU's internal procedure under Article 218(6) TFEU must still be followed for establishing the EU position on third-country accessions.
