Abstract

In this paper we will study when international public policy is activated, in relation to surrogacy, both in Spain and in neighboring countries, specifically in France and Italy.
These are States in which, on the one hand, there is a regulation that does not allow surrogacy, as is the case in Spain, therefore, in the event that this type of practice is carried out in a foreign State where they are valid, it is capable of activating the international public order exception of mentioned States; but that, on the other hand, unlike what happens in Spain, european public policy is playing an important role, so that the recognition of the parentage of minors in favor of the intended parents is possible.
