Paragraph 7
7. Stresses that, despite the voluntary nature of mediation, further steps must be taken to ensure the enforceability of mediated agreements in a quick and affordable manner, with full respect for fundamental rights, as well as Union and national law; recalls in that respect that the domestic enforceability of an agreement reached by the parties in a Union Member State is, as a general rule, subject to homolgation by a public authority, which gives rise to additional costs, is time consuming for the parties to the settlement, and could therefore negatively affect the circulation of foreign mediation settlements, especially in cases of small disputes;
