In June 2011, the European Parliament published a draft report on ADR in civil, commercial and family matters. The report can be viewed here. Following an opinion from the European Parliament's Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) on 1 September 2011, which called on the European Parliament to incorporate various suggestions in its resolution, the European Parliament adopted a non-legislative resolution on ADR on 25 October 2011. The resolution can be viewed here.
The resolution called on the European Commission to submit a legislative proposal on the use of ADR for consumer matters in the EU by the end of 2011 (as to which see item 4 above) and emphasised the importance of its swift adoption. The press release which accompanied the resolution described the resolution as "sending a strong message of support to the European Commission to improve cross border access to justice".
