The European Parliament is of the opinion that the legislative act to be adopted should lay down specific rules concerning the law applicable to the form of testamentary clauses – which clauses are to be regarded as valid if they are considered as such by the law of the State in which the testator drew them up, or by the law of the State in which the testator had his habitual residence at the time when he drew up the will or died, or by the law of one of the States of which the testator was a national at the time when he drew up the will or died;
Eiropas Parlaments uzskata, ka ar pieņemamo tiesību aktu jāparedz īpaši noteikumi attiecībā uz testamentārām klauzulām piemērojamo tiesību aktu — kuras klauzulas atzīt par spēkā esošām, ja tās par tādām atzīst ar tās valsts tiesību aktu, kurā testators tās sastādījis, vai ar tās valsts tiesību aktu, kurā testators pastāvīgi dzīvojis testamenta sastādīšanas vai nāves brīdī, vai ar kādas no to valstu tiesību aktu, kuras pilsonis testators ir bijis testamenta sastādīšanas vai nāves brīdī.
