In the light of the recent EU regulations on property law and registered partnerships which entered into force on 29 January 2019, the meeting of ELI President Christiane Wendehorst and experts from the Austrian Ministry of Justice was timely. 

As one of the project’s Co-Reporters, Wendehorst, presented the draft outcome of the ELI project on 'Empowering European Families' (EEF), which touches on the Regulations as well as other aspects of the field. Her summary of the project's output, speared great interest and insightful contributions from those present. Additionally, possible further steps on the dissemination of the project’s outcome to various judicial target groups, translation and further customisation to national legal requirements were discussed.
