Jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Recast

The Council endorsed a general approach (see Council document) on the recast of a regulation on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgements in civil and commercial matters (the so-called "Brussels I" regulation).

On that occasion there was broad support for the suggestion that the proposed Regulation should provide for an additional ground of jurisdiction relating to cultural objects based on the location of such objects, to be further examined at technical level and finalised after the meeting of the Council.
