Until recently, property relations between spouses (the same applies to cohabiting partners and partners in same-sex unions) were regulated by the Marriage and Family Relations Act (ZZZDR), which strictly regulated this area without allowing contractual changes to legal provisions. However, the Family Code (DZ), which came into effect in 2019, introduced significant changes, allowing spouses or partners to arrange their property relations at their own discretion.

On May 21, 2024, the EU Council gave the final approval to the AI Act, which was the final step in the legislative process that started in 2021. The final text will be published in the Official Journal of the EU in the coming weeks and will enter into force twenty days after the publication. The new regulation will apply two years after its entry into force, with some exceptions for specific provisions.
