Jean Tarrade, Notary of France, takes over Presidency of Council of Notariats of the European Union

With a renewed European Parliament and European Commission, Mr Tarrade intends to undertake a series of public relations actions to meet many European public authorities as often as possible in order to ensure the notarial function is well known.

In this respect, and continuing the work of his predecessor, Mr Tarrade’s political action will be in line with implementing the 2020 Plan of the Notaries of Europe, which lists a series of concrete proposals in favour of the free movement of citizens and businesses in Europe.

In order to prepare his presidency, on 16 January 2015 Mr Tarrade met the Latvian Minister of Justice, Mr Dzintars Rasnačs. Latvia holds the presidency of the Council of the European Union for the first semester of 2015.
