If you are thinking of living in another EU
country then your life may get easier following a vote in the European
Parliament this week. MEPs voted for an EU-wide common public documents system to
help verify the paperwork for the likes of nationality, marriage and birth
certs. According to the European Parliament more
than 14 million EU citizens live in a member state other than their home country.
They frequently have to deal with tedious procedures if they want to marry, declare
the birth of a child or prove a clean criminal record. Under
the new rules
multilingual forms will be attached to the original documents to avoid the need
for translation. The Fine Gael MEP Deirdre Clune is on
the European Parliament’s Transport Committee.
