".
After 2 years of intense and complex negotiations, I am delighted that it has finally been possible to reach an agreement, which I regard as generally positive. The Brussels I Regulation of 2002, which is the matrix for judicial cooperation in civil matters within the EU, will thus be revised, making it possible to determine the most appropriate jurisdiction for resolving a cross-border dispute and facilitating recognition and enforcement of judgments given in another Member State. Despite the major improvements introduced by this Regulation, there are still deficiencies that need to be ironed out in order to facilitate cross-border litigation and the free circulation of judgments within the EU, having regard to the development of a genuine European area of justice at the service of citizens and businesses. There is no doubt that among the 27 Member States that share the single market, the
procedure has become a mere formality, in addition to making the cross-border litigation process more time-consuming and costly. I therefore agree that it should be abolished and that, for reasons of legal certainty, there should be no exceptions, although it is essential to retain safeguards to protect rights of defence. I also think that the efficiency of the choice-of-court agreements has been substantially improved."@en1
