EU Commission and Same Sex Partnership Rights
Posted by Law & Sexuality on 12:19 in europe Law | Comments : 0
There are some interesting developments on the EU law front this week. Vladimir Spidla, the Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities has stated that a new EU directive will continue to allow individual member states to decide same sex partnership rights. Whilst this might not seem to represent a step forward the fact that the EU commissioner is forced to say the directive won't do that means there is pressure to do so which in a convoluted sort of way is positive. Pink News also reports some positive developments in the EU parliament but they are unlikely to lead to any legal changes.
