THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 328(1) and 331(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2010/405/EU of 12 July 2010 authorising enhanced cooperation in the area of the law applicable to divorce and legal separation(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1259/2010 of 20 December 2010 implementing enhanced cooperation in the area of the law applicable to divorce and legal separation(2),
Having regard to the notification by Greece of its intention to participate in enhanced cooperation in the area of the law applicable to divorce and legal separation,
Whereas:
(1) On 12 July 2010, the Council decided to authorise enhanced cooperation between Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Austria, Portugal, Romania and Slovenia in the area of the law applicable to divorce and legal separation.
(2) On 20 December 2010, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 1259/2010 implementing enhanced cooperation in the area of the law applicable to divorce and legal separation.

(4) Greece notified its intention to participate in enhanced cooperation in the area of the law applicable to divorce and legal separation by letter dated 14 October 2013, which the Commission registered as received on 15 October 2013.
(5) The Commission notes that neither Decision 2010/405/EU nor Regulation (EU) No 1259/2010 prescribe any particular conditions of participation in enhanced cooperation in the area of the law applicable to divorce and legal separation and that Greece’s participation should strengthen the benefits of this enhanced cooperation.
