As confirmed by the Council of the European Union, Luxembourg deposited its instrument of ratification in Brussels on 22/05/15. It is thus official: Luxembourg has ratified the UPCA. Luxembourg is the first country to ratify the UPCA in 2015 and hopefully not the last!
In fact, seven out of twenty-one countries have now ratified the UPCA. However for the UPC Agreement to enter into force a total of thirteen countries is necessary, divided as follows: France, Germany, UK + ten other countries. The Council of the European Commission counts at the moment: France + six other countries. Therefore for the UPC to stay on track and be effective by 2016 Germany, UK + four other countries need to ratify reasonably soon.
