Familial, patrimonial and professional life of users is increasingly enrolled in the European and global framework, where the need for legal security is expressed with a new requirement.
C.N.U.E. is continuously analyzing the needs and expectations of citizens and corporations in order to precisely define its priorities and commitments, with the aim to build a Europe of law that guarantees the legal security of citizens and corporations.
Therefore:
C.N.U.E. aims at the free movement of the authentic deed in Europe in order to promote the legal certainty of citizens and corporations:
In Europe, the power assigned to notaries to confer authenticity to the entire content of a deed allows the creation of a legal instrument specifically effective and safe.
The authentic deed allows a non-contentious and preventive jurisdiction regarding conflicts.
He bringsthe best security and the best protection to the citizen in his private life documents and to corporations in the documents related to their activity. It is therefore an indispensable legal certainty instrument for the familial, patrimonial and business society. The authentic deed is negotiated and drawn up by the notary under his liability, in a spirit of balance of interests of stakeholders and in perfect accordance with the law.
Moreover, the authentic deed is a modern instrument of the European area of freedom, security and justice, as it conciliates the freedom – the basis of economic efficiency - security – the essential component of social harmony – and preventive justice - that meet the consumer needs and the demands of contractual relations.
This is the reason why C.N.U.E. undertakes so that the authentic deed received in a State has the same force in all European countries, i.e. the one that binds to the documents of public authority issued under the seal of the State.
