Abstract

This article analyses the European Commission’s Proposal for a Regulation on the protection of vulnerable adults in cross-border situations. Nowadays, in the European Union we find a panorama of fragmentation and regulatory diversity in relation to the protection of vulnerable adults, both in substantive rules and in the rules of Private international law. With an ambitious proposal to combine a new Regulation with the already existing 2000 Hague Convention on the International Protection of Vulnerable Adults, the EU legislator aims to address the current legal uncertainty faced by vulnerable adults in cross-border situations by providing harmonised rules that will result in an adequate protection of their fundamental rights within the Union.
