Abstract
Many of the current features of European family law can be linked to their
particular legal basis. This paper evaluates the content and limits of the
legal bases of EU family law rules with a view to establishing the optimum
mechanism(s) for further legislative progress in view of the Union’s aims
in this field. Particular consideration is given to the possible use of the
passerelle provision (Art 81(3)) and recourse to enhanced cooperation.
