A judgment which has been certified as a European Enforcement Order in the Member State of origin shall be recognised and enforced in the other Member States without the need for a declaration of enforceability and without any possibility of opposing its recognition.
1.A judgment on an uncontested claim delivered in a Member State shall, upon application at any time to the court of origin, be certified as a European Enforcement Order if:
(a)the judgment is enforceable in the Member State of origin; and
(b)the judgment does not conflict with the rules on jurisdiction as laid down in sections 3 and 6 of Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 44/2001; and
(c)the court proceedings in the Member State of origin met the requirements as set out in Chapter III where a claim is uncontested within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) or (c); and
(d)the judgment was given in the Member State of the debtor's domicile within the meaning of Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 44/2001, in cases where
(d)a claim is uncontested within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) or (c); and
it relates to a contract concluded by a person, the consumer, for a purpose which can be regarded as being outside his trade or profession; and
the debtor is the consumer.
2.Where a judgment certified as a European Enforcement Order has ceased to be enforceable or its enforceability has been suspended or limited, a certificate indicating the lack or limitation of enforceability shall, upon application at any time to the court of origin, be issued, using the standard form in Annex IV.
3.Without prejudice to Article 12(2), where a decision has been delivered following a challenge to a judgment certified as a European Enforcement Order in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article, a replacement certificate shall, upon application at any time, be issued, using the standard form in Annex V, if that decision on the challenge is enforceable in the Member State of origin.
Where a judgment includes an enforceable decision on the amount of costs related to the court proceedings, including the interest rates, it shall be certified as a European Enforcement Order also with regard to the costs unless the debtor has specifically objected to his obligation to bear such costs in the course of the court proceedings, in accordance with the law of the Member State of origin.
If only parts of the judgment meet the requirements of this Regulation, a partial European Enforcement Order certificate shall be issued for those parts.
1.The European Enforcement Order certificate shall be issued using the standard form in Annex I.
2.The European Enforcement Order certificate shall be issued in the language of the judgment.
1.The European Enforcement Order certificate shall, upon application to the court of origin, be
(a)rectified where, due to a material error, there is a discrepancy between the judgment and the certificate;
(b)withdrawn where it was clearly wrongly granted, having regard to the requirements laid down in this Regulation.
2.The law of the Member State of origin shall apply to the rectification or withdrawal of the European Enforcement Order certificate.
3.An application for the rectification or withdrawal of a European Enforcement Order certificate may be made using the standard form in Annex VI.
