Abstract: An increase in cross-border transactions of real estate within the European Union demands for easy access to the information of the national land registries of the member states. The EULIS project brings together the registrations of eight European countries in one portal. Thus it provides access to cross-border information about the rights on real estate, using the information in the computerized databases of the participating organizations. The EULIS project is the first step towards a more transparent system of real estate transactions in Europe. The next logical step, from the viewpoint of international accessibility of the information, is the harmonization or even integration of the national land registries within Europe in one European land registry.
