Abstract
The Principles of European Family Law which are drafted by the Commission on European Family Law (CEFL) have recently been supplemented by the Principles Regarding Parental Responsibilities. In drafting Principles of European Family Law the CEFL aims to contribute to the harmonisation of family law in Europe. They may be used as a frame of reference. The first set of Principles in the field of Divorce and Maintenance Between Former Spouses was launched in 2004. In its new Principles the CEFL has developed a comprehensive and original set of rules in the field of parental responsibilities.
