I øjeblikket er det ikke klart hvilke regler, der skal gælde for de omkring 170.000 'internationale' skilsmisser, der er om året i EU.
In Europe there are over 170,000 such divorces a year.
Det kan være loven i det land, hvor de sidst var bosat, loven i det land, hvor en af ægtefællerne har statsborgerskab, loven i det land de har boet i mindst fem år eller loven i det medlemsland, hvor sagen rejses.
However, the call for a comprehensive framework applying to cases of cross-border divorce litigation met with mixed reactions from MEPs, according to political outlook and nationality.
MEP'erne foreslår, at også loven i det land, hvor ægtefællerne blev gift, skal kunne gælde.
There are also divergences between EU governments.
EU-kommissær for retfærdighed, frihed og sikkerhed, Jacques Barrot, har antydet, at et mindre antal medlemsstater overvejer at gå videre med forslaget under proceduren for "forstærket samarbejde", hvis der ikke kan opnås enighed på EU-plan.
Jacques Barrot, Commissioner for Justice, Freedom and Security, said before starting a reinforced cooperation, which could "fragment" the EU, it would be best to get as many member states as possible on board.

Making studying abroad easier
Ønsket om at få dygtige studerende fra lande uden for EU til at søge til de europæiske universiteter får nu EU til at skrue op for programmet Erasmus Mundus, som støtter internationale eliteuddannelser på de europæiske universiteter.
"It is a good programme, and considering the difficult times we are going through this is giving a positive image of Europe in the rest of the world," Ms de Sarnez said.
Til sammenligning var der afsat 230 millioner euro til programmet i 2004-2008, som blev suppleret med penge fra budgettet til eksterne aktiviteter, så det samlede beløb kom op på 296,1 mio. euro.
In the previous programme, 4424 scholarships were granted from 2004-2008 to students from third countries and 323 universities took part, 265 of them in Europe.

Lufthavnsafgifter skal sænkes til glæde for forbrugerne
Airport charges - new rules could mean cheaper flights
Formålet er at sikre lige konkurrencevilkår, så store lufthavne ikke misbruger deres dominerende stilling.
The final price for flyers can include charges to cover air passenger duty, local airport taxes, passenger service charges, fuel costs and security and insurance costs.
Årsagen var, at man ville undgå at ramme små lufthavne som ikke står i en potentielt markedsdominerende position.
At present this would affect 69 airports including ones such as Amsterdam and Palma de Mallorca.
Passagerernes rettigheder sikres bedre
The man who drafted the report is German Socialist Ulrich Stockmann.
Den tyske socialdemokrat Ulrich Stockman, der har udarbejdet Parlamentets betænkning, understreger at de nye regler vil "beskytte passagerer mod urimelige gebyrer for landing og start".
He told us that: "Passengers will be protected from exorbitant charges for landing and takeoff ... charges can also be differentiated according to environmental criteria such as aircraft noise which will also produce benefits for the citizen."
Han tilføjer, at afgifterne desuden kan differentieres efter miljømæssige kriterier.
At the moment, large airports are able to dictate to individual airlines the charges they have to pay for the use of the airport infrastructure.
I praksis tvinges flyselskaberne derfor til at betale de afgifter, som de pålægges af lufthavnene, og disse afgifter sendes i sidste ende videre til passagererne.
In practice, airlines are forced to pay whatever charges the airport has determined and will usually pass these costs on to the passenger.
MEP´erne foreslår også incitamenter til etablering af nye ruter til ´dårligt stillede´ fjernområder.
The report also calls for incentives for new routes to outlying regions of Europe.
Debatten transmitteres onsdag aften på EP Live fra kl. 21.00.

Tiltrædende handelskommissær: Doha-runden skal tilbage på sporet
Ashton backs Doha rescue in Q&A with MEPs
Catherine Ashton EU´s kommende handelskommissær, Catherine Ashton, understregede betydningen af "fri og retfærdig handel", da hun mandag aften deltog i en høringsrunde i Europa-Parlamentet.
Commissioner-designate before MEPs In a question and answer session to test her suitability to be Europe's Trade Commissioner, Catherine Ashton stressed the importance of "free and just" trade.
Verdenshandel og Doha-runden
On World Trade and the Doha round
"WTO-systemet er måske ikke perfekt, men det er let at undervurdere, hvor uforudsigelig den globale økonomi ville være uden organisationen", sagde Ashton.
"The WTO system might not be perfect, but it is easy to underestimate just how unpredictable the global economy would be without it," said Catherine Ashton.
Hun understregede desuden, at hun anser EU´s engagement i Doha-runden som en meget vigtig prioritet.
If nominated she would make a meeting with the head of the WTO Pascal Lamy a priority to reassure him of the EU's commitment to Doha.
Den finansielle krise
Financial crisis
Ahston var ikke tilhænger af store grundlæggende reformer af det økonomiske system som følge af den globale finanskrise.
"I don’t believe that the answers to any of our problems...lie in reversing the current openness of the global economy.
Jeg tror, at svaret ligger i en bedre styring af den økonomiske globalisering."
"Trade is just one piece of the jigsaw for finding solutions." said Baroness Ashton.
Personlig erfaring
Personal experience
Den tyske socialdemokrat Erika Mann ville gerne vide hvilken personlig og faglig baggrund der, berettigede Catherine Ashton´s indstilling som handelskommissær.
Ms Mann also asked what in Baroness Ashton's personal and professional background had equipped her for the role of Trade Commissioner.
Ahston lagde i sit svar vægt på sit personlige engagement i Europa.
The Commissioner-designate firstly stressed her personal commitment to Europe.
Hun fortalte om sit første besøg i Strasbourg, hvor det gennem et tæt samarbejde med Europa-Parlamentet, Kommissionen og Rådet var lykkes hende at opnå støtte til små og mellemstore britiske eksportvirksomheder.
She recalled her first visit to Strasbourg to seek support for UK SME exporters, saying she had succeeded through working closely with the Parliament, Commission and Council.
Hun lagde også vægt på hendes forhandlingsevner, som hun anså for at have været en rød tråd gennem hele hendes karriere.
She then pointed to her negotiating skills throughout her career and the breadth of her values.
Ved et WTO-møde i Geneve i juli 2004 lykkedes det at blive enige om en rammeaftale.
Goal - help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers
Efter at forhandlingerne i juli 2006 blev suspenderet på grund af manglende fremdrift, bakkede samtlige WTO-lande den 31. januar 2007 op om en fuld genoptagelse af WTO-forhandlingerne i Doha Udviklingsrunden.

Tuesday in Strasbourg: Sarkozy, financial crisis, Russia
Frankrigs præsident, Nicolas Sarkozy Frankrigs præsident, Nicolas Sarkozy, fremlagde tirsdag formiddag resultaterne af det netop overståede EU-topmøde.
Nicolas Sarkozy makes his point to MEPs, 21 October Strasbourg Tuesday in Strasbourg saw MEPs debate the conclusions of the last EU summit held on 15-16 October.
Han understregede, at finanskrisen ikke må skrue ned for ambitionerne i EU's store energi- og klimapakke.
The agenda included the financial crisis and Europe's recent troubled relations with Moscow.
Senere på dagen drøftede MEP´erne forholdet mellem EU og Rusland.
As holder of the rotating EU presidency Nicolas Sarkozy briefed MEPs on attempts to deal with the present financial crisis.
Sarkozy om sidste uges EU-topmøde
Europe "must not miss date with history"
Nicolas Sarkozy betegnede den internationale finanskrise som en alvorlig krise, der med tiden er blevet til en systemisk krise.
In a detailed address to the Parliament, President Sarkozy stated his thoughts on climate change with conviction.
"Nu skal vi komme med de rigtige svar - hvordan kunne det være muligt, og hvordan kan vi undgå, at det gentager sig," sagde Sarkozy, der har foreslået et internationalt topmøde for at danne nyt grundlag for et nyt globalt finanssystem - eller et nyt Bretton Woods system.
He warned the Chamber that the EU's climate change package must not be over-shadowed by the current economic crisis stating "we must not miss our date with history."
"Ingen finansiel institution må kunne virke uden at være underkastet finansielle bestemmelser, og vi må undgå et system, hvor ´tradernes´ bonusordninger får dem til at tage overdrevne risici," sagde Sarkozy.
He was also keen to stress that the "ambitious" climate control package should not be viewed under the long shadow cast by the financial crisis.
Da vi gik i gang med arbejdet med denne pakke, gjorde vi det ud fra en bevidsthed om vores ansvar over for vores børn og planetens fremtid.
Addressing the House, President Sarkozy was also vehement in his recognition of the seriousness of the financial crisis.
Det er en strukturel politik, det er en historisk politik, og det vil være dramatisk at fravige denne politik under påskud af finanskrisen," sagde Sarkozy.
He called for a European and worldwide effort to rectify the problem; "The crisis is global, the response must be global" he said.
MEP´ernes reaktioner
MEPs voice support for direct action
Joseph DAUL (PPE-DE, Frankrig) roste formandskabet og Nicolas Sarkozy for indsatsen i forhold til Georgien og finanskrisen.
Joseph Daul, leader of the centre right EPP-ED group made his approval clear but warned that forward planning is needed: "Of course, the financial crisis is not behind us yet.
Daul understregede, at der er behov for regler på finansmarkedet, og at der skal gøres en særlig indsats for at sikre småsparerne og de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
It is during such situations that we can adopt rules for the future".
Martin Schulz (PSE, Tyskland) var også imponeret over den hurtige reaktion fra både Sarkozy og Barroso.
The leader of the Socialist PSE group Martin Schulz thanked Mr Sarkozy for finally adopting a more socialist standpoint: "I am glad you have finally arrived, however late."
"I det vakuum, der er opstået, har Europa nu muligheden for at skabe en ny socialøkonomisk løsning i verden, " sagde Martin Schulz.
He added that "the credit crunch will pass, but climate change will not."
Han støttede den franske præsident i synspunktet om, at finanskrisen ikke må skade bestræbelserne på at opnå en global klimaaftale: "Finanskrisen vil passere, men det vil klimaændringerne ikke", sagde han.
Leader of the Liberal ALDE group Graham Watson: "In August, Europe kept tanks out of Tblisi, this month, Europe has kept the banks in business, if in December Europe acts to preserve the planet, than we should convince even the most sceptical that we need the Lisbon Treaty".
Du kan læse det fulde uddrag af debatten via linket nedenfor samt se talerne.
The Parliament will vote on a resolution on the issue Wednesday 22 October.
Energiforsyningssikkerhed, international status quo efter krisen i Georgien samt perspektiverne for EU´s fremtidige relationer til Rusland prægede debatten.
Security of energy supply, international status-quo after Georgia and the future of EU dialogue with Russia in times of economical crisis and political tensions dominated this vibrant debate.
Flertallet mente, at en tilbagevenden til isolation af Rusland og koldkrigsretorik var både skadeligt og farligt for Europa.
A positive rhetoric was used and most felt that talk of a second cold war and economic isolation of Russia inaccurate and counterproductive.

UN envoy stresses need for tolerance
FN`s højtstående repræsentant for Alliancen af Civilisationer
On Wednesday morning the UN's High Representative Jorge Sampaio spoke of the task facing Europeans in bridging social chasms and building similarities on common differences.
Jorge Sampaio talte om vigtigheden af at bygge broer og skabe forståelse mellem kulturer og minoriteter: "Europa står over for flere udfordringer i bestræbelserne på at fremme den interkulturelle dialog.
"Europe faces multiple challenges in promoting intercultural dialogue.
Migration, økonomisk usikkerhed og politiske spændinger lægger pres på forholdet mellem de forskellige kulturelle, etniske og religiøse grupperinger", sagde Sampaio.
Migration, economic uncertainty and political tensions are putting strains on relations between different cultural, ethnic and religious groups", he said.
Han fastslog, at tværkulturel tolerance, dialog, respekt og forståelse skal være grundpillerne for en bedre verden: "Europa som et sted, hvor vi kan leve sammen på lige fod, kræver et mere rummeligt medborgerskab og en bedre styring af den kulturelle mangfoldighed", vurderede han.
The 69 year old from Lisbon went on to say: "Cross-cultural tolerance, dialogue, respect and understanding must be pillars of the better world we are trying to build."
Alliancen af Civilisationer blev etableret i 2005 på initiativ af regeringerne i Spanien og Tyrkiet.
Mr Sampaio stressed the importance of multilateral understanding and the achievement of common goals.
Formålet med alliancen er at øge forståelsen mellem kulturer og religioner og således forhindre polarisering og ekstremisme.
He also drew upon current situations facing many member states and urged tolerance and understanding by Europe's citizens.
Alliancen er understøttet af et netværk af repræsentanter fra 85 lande og internationale organisationer.
"Europe is a place where we can live together as equals and that requires more and more inclusive citizenship and better governance of cultural diversities."

Torsdag under EP-samlingen
Thursday: MEPs against body scans & pirates.
MEP'ere bekymrede over planer om nøgenscannere
"Yes, No, Abstain": MEPs vote.
Europa-Parlamentet advarer mod Kommissionens planer om at tillade nye scannere for flyrejsende, som viser nøgenbilleder af passagererne.
Strasbourg, Thursday 23rd October MEPs condemned the use of body scanners at airports Thursday.
MEP'erne mener dette har en 'alvorlig indvirkning på retten til privatlivets fred'.
They believe they are "equivalent to a virtual strip search" and will block European Commission plans to approve them.
I et beslutningsforslag, som blev vedtaget torsdag (361 stemmer for, 16 imod, 181 hverken for eller imod) rejser MEP'erne tvivl om berettigelsen af denne foranstaltning, og mener indvirkningen på de grundlæggende rettigheder skal evalueres.
The day also saw the House call for criminal action to be taken by Europe, America and Russia against sea pirates.
EU-Kommissionen har forslået et udkast til en forordning, som skal supplere de fælles grundlæggende normer for civil luftfartssikkerhed.
MEPs also awarded the prestigious Sakharov prize to jailed Chinese dissident Hu Jia.
MEP'erne henviser til. at en sådan foranstaltning har en alvorlig indvirkning på retten til privatlivets fred, retten til databeskyttelse, og retten til den personlige værdighed.
A recent case was that of a Ukrainian vessel loaded with tanks and armaments falling into the hands of warring factions in Somalia.
