The 3x3 neutrino mixing matrix accommodates a Dirac CP-violating phase which can in principle show up in the neutrino oscillation patterns. Measuring this phase is going to be one of the main challenges of neutrino physics. Moreover, from the theoretical side it is not clear what a certain value of this phase would indicate. The aim of this talk is to search for possible principles, symmetries and phenomenological relations that can lead to particular values of the Dirac CP-violating phase, {delta}.
