Recognition and enforcement of judgements in civil and commercial cases was originally accomplished within the European Communities with an international convention: the 1968 Brussels convention.

The same thing applies to the amendment seeking to open up the system laid down in the Brussels Convention on jurisdiction clauses in consumer contracts. I am referring here to Article 17.
