Sixth Meeting of the International Transfer of Maintenance Funds Experts’ Group
From 3 to 5 February 2025, the International Transfer of Maintenance Funds Experts’ Group (ITMFEG) met for the sixth time. The meeting was held online, hosted by the Permanent Bureau (PB) in The Hague. It was attended by 50 delegates and other experts, representing 20 HCCH Members and one Observer, as well as by members of the PB of the HCCH.
Pursuant to its mandate (C&R No 30 of CGAP 2019), the ITMFEG continued its work discussing good practices in relation to the cross-border transfer of maintenance payments. The meeting was also an occasion to take stock of progress achieved and to discuss the future work of the ITMFEG.
