"Mr President, the European area of freedom, security and justice facilitates access to justice, in particular through the principle of mutual recognition of judicial and extra-judicial decisions in civil matters. For the gradual establishment of such an area, the EU needs to adopt measures relating to judicial cooperation in civil matters having cross-border implications, in order to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market.
Mutual trust in the administration of justice in the EU justifies the principle that judgments given in a Member State should be recognised without the need for any special procedure, and cross-border litigation needs to be made less time-consuming and costly. To ensure the protection of consumers and employees, to safeguard the jurisdiction of the courts of the Member States in situations where they have exclusive jurisdiction and to respect party autonomy, certain rules of jurisdiction in the current Regulation should apply regardless of the defendant’s domicile.
To protect employees’ rights, we stress the importance of the provisions of Articles 19 and 20, particularly the provision by which an employer not domiciled in a Member State can be taken to court in a Member State. In relation to consumer and employment contracts, the weaker party should to be protected by rules of jurisdiction more favourable to his interests than the generally applicable rules.
Mr President, I close by commending the direct reference to compliance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union."@en1
