EU Presidency reformulates one stop shop

摘要

The EU Presidency has proposed an alternative model to 'one stop shop', which would enhance 'proximity', but only utilise the mechanism in important cross-border cases. In the new proposal, the Presidency asks the Council to endorse the constituent elements of the overall architecture of the one stop shop and give guidance for further work. Andrea Orlando, Italy's Minister for Justice and President of the Council, said: "We see this as an important result for the Presidency, and a decisive step towards achieving global agreement on this complex and important file. However, as always, the Council states that 'nothing is agreed until everything is agreed."
