"− In the Internal Market created by the European Union, it is becoming increasingly necessary to defend the rights of consumers, particular those lacking adequate resources. The EU has legislation in place enabling cross-border claims and the mutual recognition of national courts’ judgments, including the Brussels I Regulation, the European Enforcement Order, the European small claims procedure and the order for payment procedure. However, obtaining a judgment is only one part of the process. The rapporteur’s aim with this report is for members of the public and businesses to have the right to ensure these judgments are effectively enforced. A necessary component of effective enforcement is that the courts may, as an interim measure, act swiftly to order disclosure and freezing of the debtor’s assets. Without such a measure, rogue traders and other debtors may evade their responsibilities by simply moving their assets to another jurisdiction, thus denying the creditor effective enforcement of the judgment in the Single Market. The individual or small business will have spent both money and time in securing a legal judgment, only to have to go before another Member State’s courts with no guarantee of success or justice."@en1
